What does it actually take to build long-term impact for young people?
In this episode of Mondays with Mike, Harlem Lacrosse CEO Michael Levin is joined by Megan Bartlett, Founder of The Center for Healing and Justice Through Sport, and Jenny Moe, Chief Program Officer at Harlem Lacrosse, for a behind-the-scenes conversation on the systems that power real, lasting youth development.
