Nonprofit Overview
Mission: Kings County Tennis League uses tennis as an instrument to mentor underserved youth and strengthen communities in Brooklyn, NY. By bringing tennis and mentoring to kids right where they live, we seek to build a future in which: 1) Every child in Brooklyn has regular access to an activity that is healthy, stimulates their personal growth, and exposes them to new concepts, cultures, and possibilities; 2) KCTL and Brooklyn residents enjoy a relationship built on trust and respect that empowers families to support the development of their children and their community; 3) KCTL’s approach to “localizing tennis” serves as a replicable, scalable model to engage and mentor youth in low-income communities through non-traditional activities.
Target demographics: children aged five to 15
Direct beneficiaries per year: 140 students
Geographic areas served: NYCHA public housing communities in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn
Programs: an enriching four-month tennis mentoring program that combines the fundamentals of tennis with related educational discussions and activities; off-season field trips to sustain student-mentor engagement in the colder months
