Why Support OWLS?

Building Stronger Communities: We believe that the power of sport goes beyond the field. By providing access to lacrosse, we're fostering teamwork, discipline, and leadership skills that will help students thrive in any endeavor.

Educational Excellence: Our organization isn't just about lacrosse. We offer academic support, mentorship, and college readiness programs, ensuring that every student has the tools they need to succeed academically.

Social Equity: We are committed to addressing the historic disparities that exist in our city. Through our programs, we aim to level the playing field for all students, regardless of their background.

You CAN Change Lives!

Donate: Your generous donation will fund equipment, coaching & educational resources, allowing us to reach more students & create lasting impact.

Volunteer: Coach or mentor & make a difference in the lives of OWLS Kids.

“OWLS’ focus is not only on the athletic aspect of playing sports, but also on leadership on and off the field, in the classroom, and in the community. Few other programs I’ve worked with have focused so much on not only making better players, but better people.” -Thomas, OWLS Volunteer, DePaul ‘15
