Community Outreach Through Lacrosse

After learning that some kids do not have access to after-school sports, MHS students came together to provide this opportunity by offering 8 week lacrosse clinics— including supplies, equipment, field space and coaches (MHS students). Each Saturday morning, 3rd-6th grade boys and girls in East Harlem meet with MHS students to learn the game of lacrosse, build self-confidence and be part of a team. In turn, MHS students gain leadership experience through organizing, coaching and mentoring. This grant supplements the field space and supply needs to provide this opportunity to a larger number of kids participating in the clinics during the 2018-19 school year.
