The NJTL Sports & Fitness Program was designed to intertwine character-building, life skills, and education with the game of tennis. As a part of the National Junior Tennis and Learning Network, supported by the USTA Foundation, this program leverages tennis as a medium for holistic youth development. The program's primary goal was to introduce tennis and foster social, emotional, and physical development among 50% of the 106 youths served aged 7 to 17 through their engagement with tennis. The program objectives were: Academic Improvement: Ensure 75% of participants improve their reading grade level. Tennis Skills Development: Enable 65% of participants to learn the basic rules of tennis. And Match Participation: Guide 40% of participants to play in matches.
The College & Career Readiness Program, spearheaded by Family Biz Builder and a part of the National Junior Tennis & Learning Network under the USTA Foundation, partnered with Winward Academy to enrich the lives of twelve (12) youths in our community. This comprehensive program is dedicated to boosting key academic skills in English, Math, Reading, Science, and Writing.
The Literacy and Education Program offered character, life skills, and online educational curricula to youths 5 to 17 years old. Twenty-eight (28) youths were served through the program. Exact Path educational software which personalizes learning across grades K-12 in reading, language arts, and math was utilized to improve participants reading comprehension, language arts and math skills. The Mentor/Mentee Match approach was used which matched each participant with a mentoring coach that provided weekly one-on-one virtual mentoring and homework assistance services.
