WTEF builds life champions. We give children and youth a safe environment they trust, where they can excel.

WTEF's mission is to empower underserved children in Washington DC by offering a pathway of continual academic support, life skills, and tennis instruction during after-school and summer camp hours. We empower them to achieve their highest potential by developing meaningful values and critical skills that lead them to life-long success.

We loved hosting the team from Genesis Motor America, along with 2026 WTEF Distinguished Service honoree and partner Kevin Reilly representing Alexandria Hyundai & Genesis of Alexandria, at our East Campus. During their visit, they got to see our programming in action and graciously presented WTEF with a celebratory sponsorship check.

Welcoming supporters onto our courts and into our classrooms to witness firsthand what our students are building every day is one of our favorite parts of this work. Thank you again to Genesis Motor America and Alexandria Hyundai & Genesis of Alexandria for your generous support of our 2026 Share the Love Gala and your commitment to our tuition-free programs!

Tiffany Fuller, a WTEF parent, watched her sons work with our partners at Highest Speak to develop their public speaking skills, and then get up on stage to deliver their speeches to a live audience full of strangers. She sees what that level of investment does for her kids, and she sees the kinds of doors that WTEF opens. This is how we work together to build life champions, on and off the court. 🎾
