How Serve change Inc. came to be, and what we have accomplished!
The beginning
In November, 2021, Serve Change Inc. was born out of a desire to leverage our knowledge, experience, and passion to make a difference.
The Real Work Begins
In January, 2020, Serve Change Inc. became a registered 501(c)(3)! We now had strong sense of what we wanted to accomplish with this non-profit and how we hoped to change lives, and we began meticulously planning our inaugural event.
First Event
On 24 June, 2022, we kicked off our very first event at Alameda High school in California! through months of planning and coordinating with coaches in the area, we were able to host an awesome event for some very deserving kids hoping to get more involved with tennis (Check out the "Events" tab for details!).
What's Next?
We are currently working on some awesome donation drives and events for this year and next! Our mission would not be possible without your help and donations, thank you for helping us Serve Change!
Serve Change Inc. is currently focused on the San Francisco and Nashville areas. These communities are home to vibrant youth organizations and growing junior tennis programs, and we are excited to play a role in creating opportunities for these kids. Our end goal is to have a significant impact on junior tennis both nationwide and worldwide.
Why Tennis Matters
Tennis is a lifetime sport that promotes health benefits, social skills, problem-solving skills through teamwork and critical thinking, and so much more. Tennis has been linked to positive outcomes in children in school performance and social behavior.
