Portland Tennis & Education Youth Development Programs

Portland Tennis & Education Youth Development Programs include tennis, pickleball, and other racquet sports, along with after-school youth development programs and summer youth development programs. The programs take place at a social impact racquet center where people of all ages and skill levels can learn and play racquet sports with no membership required. All racquet programs are open to players of all races, genders, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, and economic backgrounds.

• Schedule: Open Monday–Thursday with program options between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM, and Friday–Sunday between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM
• Price: Tuition-free after school and summer youth development programs for youth whose families financially qualify; accessible and affordable tennis and pickleball programs for all; low-cost and sliding scale learning and play opportunities for anyone interested in tennis and/or pickleball.

Portland Tennis & Education has a twenty-nine year legacy of delivering services that impact the lives of children and their families. Its mission is to foster lifelong well-being through play, learning, and connection. The organization offers comprehensive after-school and summer programs for youth in grades K–12, including tuition-free K–12 after-school and summer programs that include services beyond athletics, and over the course of a full year participants receive over 1,000 hours of out-of-school-time support. PT&E states that 100% of revenue generated through racquet programs is used to fund student and local community programs, and it partners with community leaders to advocate for an economically and socially just community where disparities are addressed and resources are equitably distributed. PT&E also has a Safe Haven Statement that commits to fostering an environment where personal safety and social connection go hand in hand.
