A groundswell movement, Homegrown Lacrosse represents a remarkable group of individuals – from board members to volunteers and staff – all united by a vision of using the sport as a conduit for building confidence, instilling character and creating a sense of community in our youth. Founded in 2003, Homegrown Lacrosse, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, works to create positive change in the lives of the people we serve and community we are a part of. Our mission is to build a community that inspires and empowers youth to excel in life and lacrosse. We deliver on our mission through a wide-variety of service and fee-based programming that are designed to develop character, build self-confidence and instill a sense of community. While the organization has grown tremendously since its humble beginnings, We remain steadfast and true to the vision that brought a handful of young Minnesota lacrosse players together to give back to a community that had helped define their lives.
