How you can make change

In Bridgeport, too many talented young people run out of support long before they run out of potential. After the final bell, the courts close, the tutoring ends, and the adults go home.

First Serve Bridgeport keeps the doors open. We pair year-round tennis with academic support, mentoring, and college readiness — free of charge, for every family.

None of it happens without people who choose to show up. Can you take action today?

Become a partner

Our partners are so important — and together we accomplish a lot.

Schools, clubs, universities, foundations, and local businesses give our students courts to play on, rooms to study in, and doors to walk through. There is no better way to make an impact than to become an active advocate yourself.

Prefer to give?

Every dollar goes straight onto the court and into the classroom.

With a lean staff, dedicated volunteers, and efficient partnerships, we squeeze effective programming out of every dollar. First Serve Bridgeport is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, EIN 45-3867870.
