Youth for Tennis Liberia
About
Making Change Possible
Founded in 2017, Youth for Tennis Liberia has made a tremendous impact by introducing hundreds of Liberian children to the game of tennis. Led by head coach and founder Alfred Kandakai, an internationally certified instructor, YFTL has also armed these youth with skills to shield them from societal challenges that plague Liberia. Please join us by supporting our efforts to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
