The partnership between Harlem Lacrosse and Skidmore Men’s Lacrosse began long before Coach Joseph Martin became Head Coach in 2018. In 2014, Skidmore Lacrosse Alumni and All-American, Jacques Ward ’11, became a Program Director for Harlem Lacrosse, a non-profit organization that provides academic support, mentoring, and leadership training, and many more resources, to underprivileged youth.
