Summer is just around the corner!
For many people that means a whole lot of fun is coming up, but for at-risk youth in Seattle, summer can often be a very challenging time.
We need your help to ensure that our #PoetAthletes are well fed, avoid the summer slide and above all, have tons of fun!
What is the "Summer Slide"?
The "Summer Slide" can potentially affect all youth, but low-income youth are at particular risk for losing valuable knowledge they have gained throughout the school year.
Children who are already behind are especially vulnerable to these impacts!
It has been shown that access to resources, like books, can help diminish, if not reverse, the summer slide!
Ensuring our #PoetAthletes have access to food and fun!
America SCORES Seattle is concerned with the health of our #PoetAthletes whether it is on the field or in the cafeteria!
83% of students we serve at America SCORES Seattle receive free or reduced lunch throughout the school year. These students are far more likely to be vulnerable to summer hunger.
For many children, summer can be a boredom filled, very inactive time. At SCORES Summer Camp, students will participate in regular activities which stimulate mental and physical health!
These are just some of the reasons we believe that
EVERY KID DESERVES TO GO TO CAMP!
Help our #PoetAthletes enjoy a reading-filled, safe and healthy summer by DONATING today!
