Charlestown Lacrosse is a non-profit community organization in Boston that provides inner-city boys and girls of all
ages with the opportunity to participate in competitive and instructional lacrosse, academic tutoring programs, prevention
workshops, and community service activites. Founded in 1997, Charlestown Lacrosse has grown from a single team of approximately 25
high-school age boys, to a six-team program providing activities for over 170 boys and girls.  Participants learn to play lacrosse,
overcome obstacles, value education, and take pride in their community.  In doing so, Charlestown Lacrosse strives to create a
model urban program that produces responsible student-athletes.
