About

Harlem Lacrosse is a year-round, in-school student success and college access organization that builds long-term relationships with students and families to drive academic success, social-emotional growth, and pathways to meaningful futures. Founded in 2011 with 35 students at one school in Harlem, the organization now works with more than 1,300 student athletes in grades 6-12 in five cities - Baltimore, Boston, Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia. Harlem Lacrosse offers 40 boys and girls programs with 19 school partners across its five regions.

Harlem Lacrosse has sent 250 students to college in the past four years and will more than double that number in the next four years.

At a rate more than double their peers, 87% of Harlem Lacrosse students persist through college. Since 2011, Harlem Lacrosse students have passed their core classes at a rate 20% higher than that of their peers at our school sites, and have earned more than $100 million in scholarship offers to independent schools and colleges. 

At the center of our model is the Program Director, a full-time Harlem Lacrosse employee embedded in our host schools. The Program Director acts as a coach, mentor, counselor, and advocate for students, filling gaps left by limited school resources and providing critical individualized interventions and support.
