Innercity Tennis Foundation

Youth Tennis and education programs: ict's youth programs are specifically designed to promote health, education, community, and character. These programs are delivered in 8 minneapolis schools and partner locations, 22 minneapolis parks, and at ict's 12 court indoor Tennis center in south minneapolis. Each year, approximately 5,000 mainly underserved youth are taught and mentored by ict via: 1) free-of-charge programs in schools, partner organizations, and super saturdays at ict's Tennis center, and 2) fee-based, out-of-school-time summer Tennis in the parks and cities academy programs that are open to all through need-based scholarships. Those in need include at-risk kids, children of color, and children from low-income families.

Adult and family programs & services:ict promotes the health, wellness, and community needs of adults by providing public access and low-cost individual and group instruction in the lifelong sport of Tennis. No registration fees are required; thus, the facility is open to all. Ict also encourages its very active and supportive adult community to give, volunteer, and share their time and talents with kids. Ict engages adults knowing that intergenerational volunteer engagement with youth has far-reaching benefits for both groups in terms of physical and social/emotional health and development.
