Bronx Lacrosse’s mission is to improve educational and life opportunities for underserved students in the South Bronx through the sport of lacrosse. It is more than a sports program: Bronx Lacrosse is a full-day, year-round academic- & sports-based youth development program that empowers youth on the field and in the classroom. They use lacrosse as a vehicle to build community, improve academic engagement and performance, and develop leadership and social-emotional skills. Program participants are supported both on and off the field through mentorship, team building exercises, additional academic support and tutoring, and behavioral monitoring and intervention.
