About
Harlem Lacrosse is a sports-based youth development organization that supports students through educational coaching, lacrosse instruction and competition, social-emotional enrichment, and post-secondary pathing services. We work with over 1,200 students across our five regions daily and year-round. We believe in depth over breadth, and play the long game!
At the center of our model is the Program Director, a full-time Harlem Lacrosse employee who is 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.

Harlem Lacrosse's mission "to provide opportunities, relationships, and experiences that activate the skills and traits to put youth on a path to success as students, athletes, and citizens" is one that rings true to each of us.
