InnerCity Tennis Foundation

We develop and unleash the potential of youth on and off the tennis court by engaging and serving a supportive community.

PROGRAM PILLARS
Physical Activity
All people, especially youth, need safe, fun, and engaging opportunities to develop a passion for lifelong healthy activity.
Mentorship
Youth need caring, supportive adults who challenge them and expand their sense of what’s possible.
Community
All people, and particularly young people, need to feel they matter and belong to nurturing communities.

KIDS WE SERVE
We facilitate high-quality youth development through tennis programs for kids throughout greater Minneapolis, with our participant demographics reflecting the diversity of our city in all its dimensions: racial, ethnic, physical, family income, and more. Our commitment to accessibility is put into practice through extensive collaborations with a variety of schools and youth development partners, through programming in MinneapolisPublic Parks, and through free-of-charge and scholarship-based programs at our Reed Sweatt Family Tennis Center. We believe that every child deserves the chance to thrive, we are honored to be a part of their journeys, and we are committed to breaking down barriers to participation.
