Programs
Each year, MetroLacrosse offers free year-round lacrosse and character education programs to over 500 youth in eight of Boston's historically underserved communities-Allston/Brighton, Chelsea, Dorchester, East Boston, East Cambridge, Hyde Park, Mattapan and Roxbury. MetroLacrosse offers 30 teams in three levels of play for the boys and girls of these eight communities.
Specifically, through its programs MetroLacrosse strives to:
- Instill character in each participant; to teach fundamental values and skills (R.E.S.P.E.C.T.) that we believe constitute the foundation for success in life;
- Provide as many hours of high-quality out-of-school programming to as many underserved children as possible;
- Introduce youth to caring adult role-models who are well-trained to significantly impact participants' futures;
- Teach youth the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle; and
- Motivate participants to capitalize on the many academic, networking, and career opportunities that the sport of lacrosse offers.
