Mission Statement
Youth Tennis Advantage’s (YTA) mission is to help close opportunity and achievement gaps for under-resourced youth in the San Francisco Bay Area through comprehensive tennis, academic and enrichment programs, seeking to promote the physical, educational, and life skills necessary to prepare and empower them to reach for their full potential.
About This Cause
YTA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to enriching the lives of kids ages 8-18 living in underserved communities in the Bay Area. Carrying on the vision and legacy of tennis great Arthur Ashe, YTA provides free tennis, educational and life skills programs to support the youth on a personal level, inspiring them to reach their greatest potential. Helping the students graduate from high school and go to college are major objectives of YTA. We use tennis to empower personal growth, instilling discipline, teamwork, and a strong work ethic through expert coaching. We provide free access to the game in underserved communities, promoting physical fitness and qualities like perseverance and resilience. We prioritize academic success by offering dedicated coordinators who assist with homework, provide guidance, and offer counseling. Our students benefit from year-round enrichment programs, ensuring they have the tools to excel. YTA’s Life Skills Curriculum (LSC) merges tennis with vital life skills education, covering nutrition, study routines, positive thinking, peer pressure, and conflict resolution. This integration empowers our youth to become responsible and successful individuals
