The mission of the Youth Tennis Foundation (YTF) is to provide opportunities for children of all backgrounds and abilities to learn, play, enjoy and excel at the sport of tennis. The YTF achieves this by raising funds for a wide variety of development programs, many of which are administered by USTA New England.
The YTF is led by a board of directors, including Michael Lewitt, President; Debbie Goldfine, Vice President; Karen O'Sullivan, Vice President; Jeff Dade, Treasurer; Jim Sharton, Secretary; Eddie Davis; Laury Hammel; Richard Mount; and Jeff Waters, Executive Director.
