The MaliVai Washington Kids Foundation (DBA MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation) was founded by former tennis professional and '96 Wimbledon finalist MaliVai Washington. The program began in the Jacksonville, FL area in 1997 by offering tennis lessons to select Boys & Girls Club youth and has since expanded to provide a variety of youth development activities for young people in elementary through high school. MWYF promotes academic achievement and positive life skills in Jacksonville youth through the game of tennis. Academic support, character development classes and community service opportunities are also provided, in addition to tennis. By correlating success on the court with success in life, we foster leadership, sportsmanship, self-esteem, confidence, discipline, accountability and the value of hard work, teamwork and individual effort. The mission of the MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation is to develop champions in classrooms, on tennis courts and throughout communities.
