Our mission Building positive self-esteem, confidence, and a pathway to post-secondary success for less advantaged youth through in-school, after school and summer tennis and educational programs. Goals Integrate life skills with the sport of tennis, focusing on social-emotional skills. Provide under-served youth with tennis instruction and history of the sport as it pertains to minority involvement to increase participants’ ability to see beyond the social norms. Partner with schools and community organizations to provide an enriching curriculum that meets a critical need for physical and academic success. (Skills on the court will translate into everyday life and educational environments.) Empower young people to make healthy lifestyle choices through mental and physical fitness.

Member Duties : The Youth Programs Summer Associate will build the capacity of Breakpoint Tennis & Life Skills Academy by supporting Breakpoint’s summer tennis and reading programs at The Highlands’ Golf & Tennis Center in Forest Park, Marquette Park in South St. Louis, Mathews’ Dickey Boys’ & Girls’ Club, City Academy, and Arthur Ashe Memorial Tennis Courts in the Ville neighborhood. As a result of the Summer Associate’s service, at least 200 children and 20 volunteers will be engaged in youth programs during summer 2022. This project will alleviate poverty by providing physical activity, social-emotional learning, and literacy education, keeping minds and bodies active over summer recess, and establishing mentoring relationships with at-risk youth and caring adults in their community.
