First Serve Bridgeport

Our Impact

Every hour on court is an hour invested in a child's future.

We measure our work the same way our families do — in report cards, in graduation rates, in kids who keep showing up. Here's what that looks like across a year of programming in Bridgeport.

Where the impact lands

Three places our students grow at once.

Students working in the tutoring program

In the classroom

Daily homework help and tutoring in math, science, reading and writing keeps students on grade level. Our college advisory program walks families through applications and financial aid.

Student hitting a forehand on the tennis court

On the court

Free year-round instruction — indoor and out — gives kids a sport they can play for life, and a competitive outlet that builds discipline and focus.

Mentor coach with students

In the community

Coaches, tutors and mentors from Bridgeport show up every season. Students gain adult role models and grow into assets to the neighborhoods they came from.

The donor value

Every dollar is a down payment on a graduate.

Donors fuel the only thing that matters: consistent, year-round support for students who need it most. Here is what that investment produces in Bridgeport.
