Serve the Future AZ

Serve the Future AZ is a nonprofit with the mission to positively impact youth from underserved communities by building self-confidence, perseverance, and responsibility through the sport of tennis. Since the beginning of 2021 we have positively impacted over 200 students. We have recently formed a partnership with the Phoenix Union High School District and its feeder schools which has over 28,000 students. It is a 95% minority population with 78% qualifying for free and reduced lunch. These are the students that Serve the Future AZ focuses on. Through the life-long sport of tennis we give them opportunities such as access to elite coaching and mentoring. Resources such as shoes, racquets, clothing, participation in events, watching live professional tennis, and featured speakers during summer camps. "They all [Featured Speakers] were very helpful and inspiring. They taught me many things about succeeding from setting goals, and persevering through struggles."
