About Tenacity:

Founded in 1999, Tenacity is a Boston-based organization that offers a free tennis and reading program throughout the city.

Tenacity’s Summer Tennis and Reading Program (STRP) is open to any Boston resident between the ages of 6 and 15 years old and generally serves more than 4,000 students per summer. Each summer, Tenacity operates Monday through Friday at as many as 20+ sites, in almost every neighborhood in Boston. Most sites have both morning (9am-12pm) and afternoon (1pm-3:45pm) sessions. The tennis component of the program is games-based and is designed to develop participants into functioning tennis players while emphasizing fun. The academic piece of the program is designed to keep kids reading over their summer vacation so they maintain important literacy skills.

Tenacity partners with the City of Boston and Parks & Recreation Department to provide this free program to Boston residents. This is a seasonal position (...
