After school programs are held throughout the area, in school gymnasiums or community centers, using USTA\u2019s Netgeneration format and the ACE curriculum, which provides an engaging multicultural approach that addresses the achievement gap while promoting social\/emotional skills, health\/wellness, and family involvement. Our programs teach problem solving strategies to be employed both on and off the court. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, in partnership with the City of Newark, EGTE offers tennis summer camp for children ages 5 to 16. During our six-week summer camp, youth receive instruction on the basic foundation of tennis while also experiencing character development and ongoing support from qualified mentors. <\/p>\n<p>Most participants pay little or no cost through our indoor, outdoor and after school community programs.<\/p>\n<p>Our programs operate on three basic principles; Access, Affordability and Opportunity. Educational programs and guidance augment the teaching in school through homework assistance and encouraging competency in mathematics and literacy. After school academic initiative programs are designed to support and encourage academic achievement, health, wellness, and strengthen life skills.<\/p>\n<p>The fall\/winter tennis program prepares all levels of tennis players from beginner to advance; high-school and tournament players, to people that have never had a racquet before. Additionally, the program focuses on helping kids succeed off the court by focusing on sustaining and furthering their education with homework help, study skills, college application process and preparation.\n<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: 99850<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): USTA Foundation- $13,000 committed; John &amp; Margaret Post Foundation &#8211; $5,000 committed; Walmart Foundation- $5,000 requested<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: ongoing<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Essex County, NJ<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 6-17<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mr<br \/>\nContact First Name: Samuel<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Inalegwu<br \/>\nContact Title: Executive Director<br \/>\nContact Phone: 12034249899<br \/>\nContact Email: essexgrassrootstenniseducation@hotmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: ESSEX GRASSROOTS TENNIS AND EDUCATION INC Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Mailing Address: 237 Ivy Court City: Orange State: NJ Postal Code: 07050-3415 Main Phone: 12034249899 Main Fax: Organization Website: Employer ID Number: 81-4507628 Organization Tax Status: 501c3 Proposal Information Today&#8217;s Date: 07\/05\/2022 Requested Amount: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1409"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1409\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1410,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1409\/revisions\/1410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
