Program Impact

Boston Scores employs one of the most intensive data evaluation efforts in the city. Our program team includes a Data & Evaluation Manager who monitors program progress, analyzes our evaluation data and closes the feedback loop with our constituents to let them know how their input influences Scores’ programming. We are also part of the prestigious Wallace-Foundation funded Partnerships in Social-Emotional Learning Initiative (PSELI), which provides us with comprehensive multi-part evaluation data from youth, teachers, and independent observers for our K-12 programs. Here are some of our results:

ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT

80% of students report a more positive attitude towards school

A positive attitude towards school is associated with greater school engagement, openness to learning, and an increased chance for school success.

HEALTH AND FITNESS

70% of students improve or maintain their fitness levels

Physical activity strengthens the heart and muscles, and increases memory and brain function.

SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS

84% of students increase their self-confidence

Self-confidence is an important trait that helps students navigate life with a positive, assertive attitude and a belief that they can accomplish their goals.

POST SECONDARY PREPAREDNESS

82% of high school students feel better prepared to pursue higher education

Boston Scores' long-term goal is to position students for post-secondary success.

Student Testimonials

Scores set a path for me at my early ages, our teachers always reminded us of our self-worth, always encouraged us and it continued throughout middle school and high school. If there is one thing that you can take from me, it is that Scores is invested in making sure that students see their potential, excel in their expressions and thoughts, expand their knowledge within the business world and it shows all students that anything is possible.

Playing with the girls and getting the help I needed from the coaches helped build my confidence and strength as a person and allowed me to meet one of my closest friends. The Scores staff do not only assist the youth with opportunities related to soccer but also with opportunities outside the field. They have college tours since we are a high school program, and different workshops like financial literacy, building a resume, job opportunities, and many more. Boston Scores is not just a soccer club - to me, it’s my second family.

Soccer is in my blood. I’ve been playing the sport ever since I was able to stand on my own two feet. Joining Boston Scores has not only helped me become a better player but has also encouraged me to stay in shape…[I’ve also] met so many new friends and amazing staff members. I will be taking advantage of the college and job opportunities given out by the coaches as well. Overall, Boston Scores has been the key factor in the player I am today.
