About America Scores Bay Area (ASBA)
Founded in 2001, America SCORES Bay Area (ASBA) inspires youth to lead healthy lives and have the confidence and character to make a difference in the world. We want all kids to experience joy, be healthy, feel connected, and be prepared to navigate the future. This school year, ASBA delivered high-quality soccer, poetry and creative expression, and service-learning programs to students at public schools across the Bay Area. Our expert staff provide curriculum, training, professional development, and ongoing support to coaches at our partner sites.
America SCORES Bay Area differs in our approach and our results due to our transformative “whole child” model, which creates improved student outcomes across three areas--health, academics, and civic engagement. Our unique formula of team-based activities in soccer, poetry, and service learning further the physical, academic, and social and emotional development of each child. ASBA is financially strong and poised for growth, with an estimated annual budget of $2M by 2019. We are implementing a strategic expansion program that will significantly increase our geographic and programmatic footprint across the region.
