ABOUT

Love 15 is a youth-led nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children in underserved communities through the sport of tennis. Founded and run by students who share a passion for the game and/or a passion for giving back, we believe that access to tennis and the lessons it brings in discipline, resilience, confidence, and sportsmanship - should not depend on a family’s socioeconomic status.

Love 15 has one simple goal: to make tennis more accessible. We collect new and gently used rackets and distribute them to children, schools, and community programs that lack the equipment to introduce tennis to their students. And we volunteer on the court, teaching the fundamentals of the game to young players and helping them build the skills, and the confidence, to keep playing. While our work began in the Washington, DC metro area, we are growing our reach each year through new programs, partnerships, and service trips.

There are many ways to support Love 15 and help advance our mission. Whether you donate equipment, volunteer your time, sponsor a program, or simply help spread the word, your involvement helps create opportunities for the next generation. Students can get involved by joining Love 15 as an Ambassador or volunteer, gaining meaningful experience while helping us grow our impact. Businesses and professionals can partner with Love 15 through sponsorships, in-kind support, or other collaborations, with opportunities for recognition across our platforms. Together, we can open doors, create meaningful opportunities, and make a lasting impact.
