America SCORES Dallas

America SCORES Dallas targets DISD elementary-aged at-risk children with a unique program of organized after-school activities combining soccer, poetry and community service learning designed to help them lead healthy lives, be engaged students and have the confidence and character to make a difference in the world. Children learn lessons in sportsmanship, discipline and teamwork through soccer, as well as receive daily physical exercise. Poetry lessons help them improve language skills and creative thinking as well as gives them an outlet to write about personal issues and develop emotionally. Service-learning projects help children develop empathy, social responsibility and a sense of personal worth. They learn to use their voices to make changes in their communities. SCORES operates in urban schools with certified teachers and coaches. 97% of participants live at or below the poverty level and some are homeless; 88% are Hispanic, most are first-generation Americans.

Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)/Prince Georges County

CASA stands for: Court Appointed Special Advocate. CASA volunteers, are regular citizens like you, appointed by the courts, who have been trained to be child advocates for neglected and abused children in the foster care court system trained to assure that the rights and needs of these children are at the forefront of decisions that are being made by judges and lawyers and family members. For many neglected and abused children their CASA volunteer is the only reliable adult presence in their lives. And that single volunteer can often be enough to break the cycle of violence and neglect – not just for one child, but for generations to come.
