About the Future Leaders Program
The Future Leaders Program enables the next generation of volunteers to work closely with local tennis clubs in creating welcoming environments on and off the tennis court.
Program participants attend a three-day camp to develop important teamwork and leadership skills and to develop a project plan to take back to their tennis club to complete. Upon completion, participants are invited to attend a graduation day in recognition for all their hard work.
The Future Leaders Program is a great opportunity for students to develop important skills and make a positive impact on their communities. We are excited to see what the future holds for the participants of this program.
