Harlem Lacrosse Boston launched in 2016 and uses lacrosse as the foundation for a much broader year-round youth-development model. The program partners with Boston Public Schools and combines four-season lacrosse with academic support, summer programming, college preparation, career readiness and other enrichment opportunities. Boys and girls participate from middle school through high-school graduation, with club lacrosse, camps and summer academy experiences forming one part of a larger effort to support students academically, athletically and personally.
