“Early success in algebra enables students to avoid being tracked into remedial classes in high school and pursue more advanced courses like calculus, giving them an edge in the college application process” Our Founder & Executive Director Dan Leventhal recently wrote an article about our Algebra-Readiness Tutoring Program and the impact it's having on our students in the Bronx. This program is not only enhancing our students' mathematical skills but also boosting their confidence and overall academic performance.

We use lacrosse as a vehicle to build community, invest students in school, and improve academic outcomes among young people. Bronx Lacrosse is open to all middle and high school students who live in the Bronx, with a strategic focus on those most in need of academic support, mentorship, and the opportunities that a serious commitment to lacrosse affords students as they apply to competitive high schools and colleges.

CHAMPIONS.🏆 FAMILY. With their strength, toughness, and love for one another, our @bronxwritingacademyx323 & @mottjhs22 team wrote a story for the record books this year, winning the New York City MSAL Championship. After winning only one game the previous season, this team remained steadfast in their commitment to the program and each other. Focused on building a culture of selflessness and strong character, these girls truly became a family to win this championship. We are so incredibly proud of this team for their dedication and growth, showcasing what it means to be a true Bronx Lacrosse player. Community. Growth. Commitment.

Surrounded by brick and concrete, Jordany Rosario-Pena has developed a sense like no other in the sport. Effortless. Creative. Curious. His skill and presence is felt strongly throughout his community, with younger generations constantly speaking highly of and working to mimic his expertise and inventive nature. His friends call him “Michael Jordany”, for his groundbreaking ability. Younger players call him inspirational as they copy his moves. And his coaches call him unbelievable when they see his originality unfold on the field. This is Jordany’s Story.
