HARLEM LACROSSE INSPIRES CHILDREN TO DREAM ABOUT TOMORROW WHILE WORKING HARD ON THE FIELD AND IN THE CLASSROOM TODAY. 0 0 5377456 86774 COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC IT WAS CRUCIAL FOR US TO GET BACK TO A ROBUST YEAR OF IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING. OUR STUDENTS HAD EXPERIENCED A FUNDAMENTAL DISRUPTION TO THEIR EDUCATION IN THE PREVIOUS SCHOOL YEAR. THE ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SUPPORT THAT IS FOUNDATIONAL TO OUR PROGRAM MODEL WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. IT WAS ALSO CRITICAL THAT WE RE-ENGAGED FULL ROSTERS OF STUDENTS SO THAT WE COULD CONTINUE TO BUILD ON THE GROWTH THAT WE HAD EXPERIENCED LEADING UP TO THE PANDEMIC. INSTEAD OF CUTTING BACK ON OUR OFFERINGS IN THE UNCERTAIN WAKE OF THE PANDEMIC, WE DOUBLED DOWN OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH PROGRAM EXPANSIONS TO SERVE OVER 1500 PARTICIPANTS ACROSS 41 PROGRAMS.ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS:AS SCHOOLS RETURNED TO IN-PERSON LEARNING, HARLEM LACROSSE SUPPORTED PARTICIPANTS IN THE TRANSITION TO THE NEW NORMAL OF SCHOOL. STUDENT-ATHLETES' FAMILIES SHARED THAT BEING PART OF HL IMPROVED ACADEMIC MOTIVATION (94%) AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE (85%) IN THE CLASSROOM. AFTER A YEAR OF CLASSROOM DISRUPTION, ATTENDANCE WAS MORE CRITICAL THAN EVER. HL PARTICIPANTS WHO WERE CHRONICALLY ABSENT IN THE PREVIOUS SCHOOL YEAR ATTENDED 16 DAYS MORE OF SCHOOL THIS YEAR. STUDENTS WHO WERE FAILING COURSES IN THE PREVIOUS SCHOOL YEAR IMPROVED THEIR GPA BY AN AVERAGE OF 23% THIS SCHOOL YEAR. THE SENIOR CLASS HAD AN EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG YEAR DESPITE THE DISRUPTIONS TO THEIR HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE WITH 95% MATRICULATING TO COLLEGE OR A POST-GRADUATE YEAR IN THE FALL OF 2022. 30 OF THOSE PARTICIPANTS ARE THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILY TO ATTEND COLLEGE. ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENTS:ACCESS TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY HAS ONLY GROWN IN IMPORTANCE DURING THE PANDEMIC, ESPECIALLY FOR YOUTH, BUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY HAS DIMINISHED, WITH PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY CLOSING, MERGING, AND DOWNSIZING. CONVERSELY, HL ADDED PROGRAMS DURING THE 2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR, AND CONTINUES TO INCREASE ATHLETIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH. AS A RESULT, STUDENT-ATHLETES SAW TANGIBLE GROWTH IN THEIR PHYSICAL FITNESS. PARTICIPANTS AVERAGED AN INCREASE OF 11 LAPS ON THE PACER FITNESS TEST DEMONSTRATING SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN HEALTHY FITNESS ZONES AS MEASURED BY THE BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. PARTICIPANTS ALSO GREW AN AVERAGE OF 11 REPETITIONS ON THE WALL BALL STICKWORK TEST USED TO MEASURE LACROSSE SKILL ACQUISITION. IN 2022, HARLEM LACROSSE ADDED NATIONAL CLUB TEAMS TO CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MOST TALENTED PARTICIPANTS TO TRAIN WITH EACH OTHER AND SHOWCASE THEIR ABILITIES IN NATIONAL RECRUITING TOURNAMENTS. THE NATIONAL CLUB TEAMS GIVE STUDENT-ATHLETES THE PLATFORM TO BE RECRUITED TO PLAY AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL WHERE THEY WILL JOIN THE RANKS OF THE MANY STANDOUT ALUMNI ON COLLEGE TEAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN THE 2021-22 YEAR, OVER 50 HARLEM LACROSSE ALUMS TOOK THE FIELD WITH THEIR COLLEGIATE PROGRAMS. SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL GROWTH:AS STUDENTS RETURNED TO SCHOOL, MENTAL HEALTH AROSE AS A PRIMARY CONCERN FROM PARENTS, GUARDIANS, AND TEACHERS ALIKE. BOTH SPORT AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH TRUSTED ADULTS CAN HELP YOUTH DEVELOP THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SKILLS TO BUILD RESILIENCY AND ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS. IN 2021-22, 96% OF HL STUDENTS GREW IN AT LEAST ONE OF OUR FIVE CORE AREAS OF SOCIAL EMOTIONAL GROWTH. FURTHERMORE, 95% OF FAMILIES REPORTED THAT THEIR CHILD IMPROVED THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH ADULT MENTORS AND 92% OF FAMILIES REPORTED THAT THEIR CHILDREN IMPROVED RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR PEERS. AFTER A PERIOD OF DISCONNECTEDNESS, HARLEM LACROSSE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN BUILDING A SENSE OF BELONGING AND COMMUNITY. 5377456 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 56 0 1 68 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MA CA MD NY PA AL AK AR CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY LA ME MI MN MS MO NV NH NJ NM NC ND OH OK OR RI SC TN TX UT VA WA WV WI X THE ORGANIZATION 6175957500 8 WEST 126TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10027 CHUCK LEITNER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SID STEINBERG DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID O'CONNOR DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE LOCKSHIN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 PETER RUGGIERO DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MAUREEN DIBBLE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 EVAN VOSBURGH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER BALDWIN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DOM STARSIA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DEMAURICE SMITH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CARLOS BEASON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RONDA CLARK-RICHARDSON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE SAILER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 IAN LORING DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ROMINA BONGIOVANNI DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MELINDA WRIGHT DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LOUIS SALEMY SECRETARY (UNTIL FEB '22) 10.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL DICARLO TREASURER 10.00 X X 0 0 0 SIMON CATALDO PRESIDENT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL LEVIN CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 75.00 X 198333 0 120 JILLIAN RODDE COO (UNTIL AUG 2022) 40.00 X 116336 0 4107 314669 0 4227 2 0 1 0 0 579596 280183 6350013 28107 7209792 3391 3391 370341 579596 370341 0 7213183 0 0 3391 86774 86774 215121 71707 71707 71707 3538839 2921140 173701 443998 69879 56199 4487 9193 321606 284863 16290 20453 334959 269385 21508 44066 14800 14800 86800 86800 137434 5158 122580 9696 168603 8117 130479 30007 48234 4905 43329 39059 6112 10588 22359 33845 4205 24292 5348 4733 4733 69947 5058 64889 PROGRAM EXPENDITURES 1356772 1356074 413 285 COACHES 263722 260722 3000 SPECIAL EVENTS 81625 2631 501 78493 MISCELLANEOUS 49146 15933 10523 22690 28107 13740 5298 9069 6950005 5377456 805185 767364 389886 798592 1613553 1213591 808656 1162986 103721 24797 50484 4733 0 45751 2915816 3245717 295034 369764 8007 0 303041 369764 X 2524379 2603970 88396 271983 2612775 2875953 2915816 3245717 263178 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3094874 3751653 5198929 6529072 7209792 25784320 3094874 3751653 5198929 6529072 7209792 25784320 1082185 24702135 643 487 811 2213 3391 7545 325 28433 5954 34712 25826577 255370 0.95650 0.96080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 50484 4733 45751 45751 X 7247983 34800 34800 7213183 0 7213183 6984805 34800 34800 6950005 0 6950005 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES ON TRADE OR BUSINESS PROFITS GENERATED BY ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S EXEMPT FUNCTION.
