Enrichment Programs

The following enrichment programs supplement our high quality tennis instruction:

The Goodstein Junior Leadership Program (GJL) is an invitational program for select NJTL players, between the ages of 14–18, who exhibit leadership qualities. Participants learn and develop leadership skills through interaction with caring and knowledgeable adults, field trips, lectures, community service projects, mentoring programs and summer employment opportunities with the National Junior Tennis League.

The Arthur Ashe Reading is Fundamental® Room holds over 1,000 titles, carefully selected to entice children into becoming life-long readers. Young people are encouraged to borrow books and to use the reading room as a quiet place to do their homework. At the end of each tennis session, certificates of achievement are awarded to those youngsters who have met reading goals. Progress is recorded on charts kept in the reading room. The Reading Room is also where the Goodstein Junior Leaders mentor younger program participants.

The Love 2 Serve Program(L2S) is a partnership with 5 interconnected North and Southwest Philadelphia neighborhoods that provides, at no charge, year round Life Skills, Tennis Instruction and Homework Help as well as a host of other enrichment activities for both youth and families.

Through Read Like the Pros the staff at AAYTE share their favorite books with our young readers.

Through The Munchkin Program, children ages four to eight spend 30 minutes being read to by the Goodstein Junior Leaders after each tennis class.

Each year AAYTE awards Scholarships to help applicants reach goals for continuing their education, whether in college, secondary schools or other related pursuits.
