As an education-oriented, multi-service youth development program, we
use lacrosse, academic enrichment, and community service as vehicles to
enhance intellectual curiosity, support and encourage academic progress,
and motivate participants to set and pursue challenging academic and
athletic goals. To achieve these aims, Charlestown Lacrosse:
* Provides participants with safe and rewarding after-school
programs
* Encourages participants to achieve their potential on the
lacrosse field, in the classroom, and expose them to the new educational
opportunities.
* Improves participants understanding of wellness, healthy
behaviors, and sound judgment
* Represents, in all of its programs, the diversity of the
Charlestown community
* Provides rewarding opportunities for adult community members to
actively impact the lives of community youth
