EMPOWERING YOUTH THROUGH NJTL EXCELLENCE

The NJTL program was founded by Arthur Ashe in 1969 with the aim of using tennis for positive youth development. NJTL programs aim to provide a safe haven for young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds or underserved communities. Programs offer a structured and supportive environment where youth can engage in constructive activities, learn from positive role models, and build strong relationships with peers and mentors. By offering tennis instruction, educational support, and life skills development, NJTL programs strive to empower young individuals to reach their full potential. As part of the USTA Foundation NJTL network, Ace 2 Deuce CTA is one of more than 250 nonprofit youth development organizations that offer free or low-cost tennis and education programming to under-resourced youth.
