At Youth Tennis Advantage, our coaches and staff do more than teach tennis — they mentor, inspire, and open doors for young people across the Bay Area. If you’re passionate about working with youth and want to be part of a team with over 50 years of impact, we’d love to hear from you.
About YTA
YTA is a non-profit 501(c)(3), founded in 1968, dedicated to enriching the lives of youth ages 8-18 living in underserved communities. Carrying on the vision and legacy of tennis great Arthur Ashe, YTA provides free tennis, educational and life skills programs. YTA’s Mission is to empower under-resourced youth through free, high-quality tennis, academic enrichment, and mentoring that builds confidence, resilience, and lifelong opportunity.
YTA is part of the NJTL network.
In 1969, the National Junior Tennis League was created as a way to gain and hold the attention of young people, with the hope of teaching them the importance of character, getting an education and becoming productive citizens. Today, the now-named National Junior Tennis and Learning network features more than 250 nonprofit youth development organizations that offer free or low-cost tennis and education programming to over 160,000 under-resourced youth each year. NJTL is supported by the USTA Foundation, the national charitable organization of the USTA. The work done by its member chapters includes after-school tutoring that focuses on academic enrichment, a life-skills curriculum and, of course, tennis.
