Why service?

“Where our deep passion and the world’s deep hunger meet, there we find purpose.” -Frederick Buechner 

By harnessing the passion of the lacrosse community and engaging under-served groups, we have the opportunity to make a positive social change in a small part of the world. Finding ways to use those things which give us the greatest joy, those things of which we have great passion, and those things at which we excel for the greater good of humanity brings to life a deep transformation, life-long satisfaction, and lasting fulfillment. 

We’re so excited for what these experiences could mean in the lives of student-athletes. No doubt, there are many young men and women that LOVE the game of lacrosse in our area. Part of our roles as parents and coaches is to help our young people discover creative positive ways to engage their passions like athletics for their own journey towards adulthood. But how many of our players have considered that their love of athletics could also be used to help change a small part of the world? Service experiences introduce young people to the idea that authentic joy comes through serving others and gives them concrete examples of how they can use their gifts and talents to make the world a better place. Along the way, players will experience a great sense of family, lots of lacrosse, deep satisfaction from investing in people, and life-changing adventure. There’s no better time than high school to learn how to do this in life!
