About This Cause
SCORE Academy is an Summer & After School Therapeutic Support Program Providing At Risk Youth The Opportunity and Tools To Survive and Win!! Future Champions provides a community approach to supporting the youth of today, so that they may thrive and embrace life’s fullest potential. Our youth are our Future Champions and as their coaches, we pride ourselves in offering community exposure and involvement, while providing a resourceful environment of positive reinforcement that fosters the youths’ development into the visionaries of our future. Our approach embodies wellness principles by emphasizing physical recreation, cognitive growth, and life skill development. PROGRAMS Education Homework Assistance Literacy Math STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) Acquiring the skills and knowledge associated with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (disciplines collectively known as STEM) is increasingly important preparation for life and work in the 21st century. Yet education assessments suggest that American students are not adequately prepared for STEM careers. What’s more, interest in these fields appears to be declining even as demand for STEM-capable employees increases. A lack of engagement in STEM narrows students’ future career options and limits their decision-making capacity as citizens and consumers. Enrichment Art Our arts and crafts as well as poetry-writing sessions help youth develop their creative thinking skills and appreciation of various modes of expression. Audio Visual and Musical Engineering Apprenticeship Grants access to cutting edge technology in our music studio and educates participants through hands on learning in a structured setting with professional engineers, producers, & musicians, these sessions that build self esteem, encourage creativity, and explore individual emotion. Health & Wellness Physical Fitness Healthy Eating Education Physical recreation provides clarity and cultivates cognitive readiness for participants, as they are supported and motivated to experience exclusive interpersonal empowerment activities. Family Invovement There are many reasons for family involvement. The family is each student’s most immediate community, whether the child is living with one or both parents, or with some other relative or caregiver. Students do better in school when their families are involved. We create a hub that engages children, youth and adults in activities that both educate and enrich their lives. Research has shown family involvement relates to improved student grades and test scores across different student groups, including at-risk students. Higher levels of family involvement also correspond to lower dropout rates and to increased student sense of personal competence, engagement in school work, and beliefs in the importance of education. (Hoover- Dempsey et al., 2005; Kakli, Kreider, Little, Buck, & Coffey, 2006; NEA & MALDEF, 2010; Nye, Turner, & Schwartz, 2006). Leadership Development This includes workshops and training in college preparation, job preparation, the after-school learning center, and financial and business development including entrepreneurship workshops. Students learn how to contact a college for information; how to search for funding for a college education; how to complete a job application and develop a resume; and how to prepare a personal budget, open a bank account, maintain good credit, prepare a business plan and operate a small business. The after-school learning center helps students improve their math and reading skills by providing personalized individual math assignments, reading quizzes, tutoring and reading challenge opportunities. Community Service teenagers participate in community service activities that give them insight and experience regarding local cultures and customs, and opportunities to serve individuals in need. They are involved in events like the Homeless Walkathon, distribution of warm clothes and food to the homeless, and tutoring the younger Students Therapeutic Services Edifies each participant as they address their individualized challenges or areas for positive self growth, while building leadership skills, self efficacy, and wellness principles.
