  • Introduction Hjtep Program Areas
    INTRODUCTION HJTEP brings tennis to youth from high-risk, low-income inner-city neighborhoods and offers opportunities for self-development, emphasizing education and a positive code of behavior. The Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program (HJTEP), a not-for-profit organization, opens a new door for many inner-city boys and girls, ages 7-18, to learn the game of tennis. We recently served approximately 800 students during the school year, assisting youth from our program, schools and community centers and 150-300 in our summer program but the pandemic has cut that number considerably for safety protocols. What they experience on the courts, and in our education programs, develops the whole child—in sports, school and life. Tennis teaches kids essential life skills, sportsmanship, self-discipline, social and emotional competence and how to fight obesity and lead healthier lives. In their weekly sessions, participants also learn to improve communication skills and personal hygiene habits. At HJTEP, we insist on academic achievement and offer educational support. The average GPA of our participants is 3.1. (A 2.0 or higher GPA is required to remain in the program.) As we enter the 2020-2021 school year, students are being faced with a great deal of uncertainty and disruption. The blended learning model approach that is being implemented in New York Schools will continue to present students with new challenges as they navigate both in-class as well as online/remote learning. HJTEP has a long and successful history of supporting the students who participate in our programming. In fact, over 95% of youth who participate in the HJTEP earn their high school diploma.
