HARLEM LACROSSE INSPIRES CHILDREN TO DREAM ABOUT TOMORROW WHILE WORKING HARD ON THE FIELD AND IN THE CLASSROOM TODAY. 0 0 3405267 21703 370 IT ISN'T EASY TO TAKE A SCHOOL-BASED LACROSSE PROGRAM VIRTUAL, BUT IN 2020, OUR DEDICATED STAFF AND OUR DRIVEN YOUTH MADE IT HAPPEN. HARLEM LACROSSE FOCUSED ON FIVE PILLARS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND RELATED SCHOOL CLOSINGS TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE TO OUR 860 STUDENT-ATHLETES:1. CONTINUE TO ENGAGE EACH PARTICIPANT AT LEAST THREE TIMES PER WEEK2. MONITOR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND PROVIDE SUPPORT, COUNSELING, AND INTERVENTION 3. ENGAGE STUDENTS TO ENSURE RETENTION AFTER VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING ENDS4. CONTINUE THE THREE PILLARS OF HL PROGRAMMING: ACADEMIC, ATHLETIC, AND ENRICHMENT5. CONTINUE BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL PARTNERSACADEMIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS:HARLEM LACROSSE SUPPORTED THE TRANSITION TO VIRTUAL SCHOOL, FACILITATING TUTORING PROGRAMS, PROCURING THE TECH STUDENTS NEEDED TO ENGAGE, AND HELPING TO MEET STUDENTS' BASIC NEEDS. AS HEADLINES POINTED TO A WIDENING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GAP FOR YOUTH IN SYSTEMATICALLY UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES, HARLEM LACROSSE STUDENTS SHOWED UP (95% SCHOOL ATTENDANCE) AND PERSEVERED (96% MAINTAINED A PASSING GRADE POINT AVERAGE). AMONG OUR SCHOOL PARTNERS, 98% SAID THAT HARLEM LACROSSE INCREASED THE ACADEMIC MOTIVATION AND ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YOUTH WHO PARTICIPATED. PARENTS AND GUARDIANS AGREED: 98% FELT THAT PARTICIPATING IN HARLEM LACROSSE INCREASED THEIR STUDENT'S MOTIVATION TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL, AND 96% FELT THEIR STUDENT IMPROVED ACADEMICALLY.ATHLETIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS:EVEN WITH PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS ON TRAINING AND MATCHES, WITH THE HELP OF THEIR COACHES AND MENTORS, OUR PLAYERS WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE TRAINING AND MEET THEIR GOALS. BOTH FAMILIES AND SCHOOL PARTNERS AGREE (100%) THAT HARLEM LACROSSE IS INSTRUMENTAL IN ADVANCING STUDENTS' ATHLETICISM AND PHYSICAL FITNESS.SOCIAL EMOTIONAL GROWTH:LACROSSE BUILDS MORE THAN SKILLS AND PHYSICAL FITNESS; IT DEVELOPS LEADERS, FOSTERS TEAMWORK, CEMENTS RELATIONSHIPS, AND TEACHES RESILIENCE, DEDICATION, AND SPORTSMANSHIP. 96% OF PARTICIPANTS IN 2020 DEMONSTRATED GROWTH IN AT LEAST ONE DOMAIN OF SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING, WITH THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY AND SOCIAL SKILLS. OTHER IMPORTANT ADULTS SEE THE IMPACT ON YOUTH AS WELL: OVER 95% OF FAMILY MEMBERS AND 100% OF SCHOOL PARTNERS SAW DEVELOPMENT IN EACH LEADERSHIP, GROWTH MINDSET, SELF-ADVOCACY, AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING SKILLS. LONG-TERM IMPACT:COMPARED WITH STUDENTS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS NATIONWIDE, HL STUDENT-ATHLETES ARE MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL (94% VS. 85%), ENROLL IN COLLEGE (86% VS. 69%), AND PERSIST IN COLLEGE (88% VS, 76%). ALTHOUGH HARLEM LACROSSE WAS FOUNDED AS A MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM, WE HAVE FOUND THAT A LONG-TERM CONNECTION WITH OUR STUDENTS IS A VITAL DRIVER IN OUR IMPACT. IN 2018, WE APPROVED A THREE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WILL ENSURE THAT EVERY HARLEM LACROSSE MIDDLE SCHOOL PARTICIPANT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO BENEFIT FROM HARLEM LACROSSE IN HIGH SCHOOL, FOLLOWING A SUCCESSFUL PILOT AT FREDERICK DOUGLASS ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL. IN THE FALL OF 2019, WE LAUNCHED TWO ADDITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN NEW YORK AND BALTIMORE. TWO MORE FOLLOWED IN 2020, AND AT LEAST TWO MORE WILL BE ADDED IN 2021. 3405267 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 55 0 1 81 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 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 DANIEL BLACK 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 (SINCE JUNE '20) 2.00 X 0 0 0 CARLOS BEASON DIRECTOR (SINCE JUNE '20) 2.00 X 0 0 0 RONDA CLARK-RICHARDSON DIRECTOR (SINCE JUNE '20) 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE SAILER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LOUIS SALEMY SECRETARY 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 162400 0 120 JILLIAN RODDE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 40.00 X 104268 0 6832 266668 0 6952 2 0 1 0 0 300759 4898170 129315 5198929 811 811 230447 300759 230447 0 370 0 370 370 OTHER INCOME 900099 28433 28433 28433 5228543 370 0 29244 21703 21703 180120 60040 60040 60040 2855782 2293792 303894 258096 50580 39580 5882 5118 289064 248042 22699 18323 270185 211427 31418 27340 319 319 75150 75150 101149 35491 43598 22060 92961 3723 67363 21875 31065 1317 28983 765 16598 3925 1288 11385 2861 -676 2927 610 59127 58952 175 PROGRAM EXPENDITURES 262404 261300 1104 DONATED LACROSSE EQUIPM 129315 129315 COACHES 68261 68261 MISCELLANEOUS 41959 28027 5596 8336 24046 347 23699 4572649 3405267 709560 457822 643183 636487 50199 1501010 145000 45105 53651 19417 892033 2202019 167359 247666 25915 599700 193274 847366 X 198759 1314653 500000 40000 698759 1354653 892033 2202019 655894 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1358587 839698 3094874 3751653 5198929 14243741 1358587 839698 3094874 3751653 5198929 14243741 597440 13646301 1571 430 643 487 811 3942 325 28433 28758 14276441 412870 0.95590 0.98220 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 X 5234063 5520 5520 5228543 0 5228543 4578169 5520 5520 4572649 0 4572649 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS A NONPROFIT CORPORATION 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.
