Watching children I taught their 4th and 5th grade years go on to play in high school... as well as proudly watching them grow into fine teenagers who are already giving back to their communities!
Help them organize and fund an after-school program for inner-city youth interested in tennis. In Indianapolis, I would like to see these specific high schools get stronger with the help of NJTL: Manaul, Arsenal Tech, Broad Ripple, Arlington and Beech Grove.

None at this time.
I have several close ties to those I have worked with at NJTL. The instructors from 2006-2009 are very close and still keep in touch with each other. We went to colleges in at least 3 or 4 different states yet still keep in contact and report to each other on how our former students are doing. It's amazing. Some of us played in college, some of us did not -- what has brought us all together has been our love of the game and passion for introducing the game to others... Moreso, the people behind the scenes working in the office (2008-2012) namely Nancy, Steve, Julie, Mandy, Kristen and Vonda -- have made incredible and indispensable impacts on this organization. They have worked together and provide support for one another. They're great people to work with and I wouldn't have it any other way.
No words for how this organization changed my life... It's been amazing.
witnessing the physical, mental and emotion growth of participants over the years... I still keep in touch with one of the kids I taught my first summer. I also have had a great experience because of the executive director, Nancy Carr, who not only works hard for the benefit of the organization but for her staff. We all love her.
give them a bigger office space. It gets really crowded, especially with all the volunteers who come in to stuff envelopes, fold the papers for fliers, enter data and lend hands for whatever needs to be done. I'd also like to ensure that the program has enough funding to continue offering lessons to youth who file for scholarships.

talking to those who have participated as a player and/or instructor at NJTL.
provide them the money they need for their programming, hiring more staff/instructors, and administrative needs.

A lot
My husband played in NJTL growing up and was a summer instructor when he was in college.

The fact that my son has blossomed through the Indy program as a child with ADHD. He does not do well in team sports and the Indianapolis NJTL has been so rewarding for my son. The entire proram, instructors and volunteers have been wonderful.
Nothing I think they are fantastic.
observing the success stories both recent and old, in the Indianapolis area.
focus on quality of outcomes instead of quantity of students
their office
do nothing
As stated in my review, the skills I gained from NJTL helped me stay out of trouble through middle school and high school, and now I am happy to pursue my college education. It has not been an easy road, but neither was learning an overhand serve when I was 10. NJTL showed me the if you really want something, whether it is to be successful as an athlete or otherwise, you must exercise patience, perseverance, and determination.
I would provide them with their own facility. Currently, NJTL doesn't have a tennis center/gym of their own. It is fabulous that they partner with schools, community centers, and racquet clubs to offer their services, but they are at the mercy of those establishments as far as resources and scheduling goes. I know they could better serve their clients with a place of their own. This economic climate may not be the time for such an expansion, but hopefully in the future NJTL will have this opportunity.
My wife was a past participant and I participate in the Board
