Lacrosse is the conduit by which we achieve our mission of improving the lives of children in need across the globe. Our program uses the lacrosse field as a platform to teach students valuable life skills and health education, while ultimately bringing joy to their lives. Our holistic approach includes:
- lacrosse as a PE and after school program.
- a Life Skills Curriculum to help boys and girls learn healthy behaviors on the field, in school and at home.
- a Nutrition program.
- monthly field trips and prize rewards to foster school enrollment and attendance
- a Scholarship Program for our Coach’s continuing education
Our programs in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and stateside are opportunities to use the power and unity of a game we love to humbly serve those in need.
We believe that even while surviving in extreme poverty, people can have incredible humility, dignity and generosity of spirit. As an organization, we listen to them to learn about their greatest needs in hope to create sustainable change to alleviate the pressures of poverty.
The programs will be scalable and replicable as we establish new program sites both internationally and domestically.
