About Us
Mission: 

At CityLax lacrosse is the tool and saving kids is the goal. We bring lacrosse to underserved schools to give student-athletes a reason to study, to connect with teammates and to provide life lessons. Through lacrosse we show inner city students a way out, a future, a chance to be the first in their family to go to college. CityLax provides programming year round to keep kids off the streets and enhance their skills in lacrosse and life. With over 70 schools in New York City and Albany now playing lacrosse through CityLax we know every day provides an opportunity, and every student a different situation. CityLax is proud of our students 99% graduation rate. With the help of some amazing donors and volunteers we are making a difference one ground ball at a time.”
