About This Cause
Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program (HJTEP) continuously brings tennis to youth from high-risk, low-income inner-city neighborhoods and offers opportunities for self-development, emphasizing education and a healthy positive code of behavior. HJTEP, a not-for-profit organization, opens a new door for many inner-city boys and girls, ages 6-18, to learn the game of tennis. We serve approximately 1,000 students during the school year and 150-300 in our summer program. What they experience on the courts, and in our education programs, develops the whole child—in sports, school and life. Tennis teaches kids essential life skills, sportsmanship, self-discipline, social and emotional competence and how to fight obesity and lead healthier lives. In their weekly sessions, participants also learn to improve communication skills and personal hygiene habits. At HJTEP, we insist on academic achievement and offer educational support. The average GPA of our participants is 3.1. (A 2.0 or higher GPA is required to remain in the program.)
