MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation

The MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation was founded by pro-tennis player, Olympian, and Wimbledon finalist, MaliVai Washington. MWYF has provided youth development programs in Jacksonville since 1996. We focus our efforts on the Durkeeville community, an area that sees the highest rate of poverty, unemployment, violent and juvenile crime and the lowest educational attainment in Duval County. Our mission is to develop champions in the classroom, on tennis courts and throughout communities. We do this by offering comprehensive afterschool programming, family services, summer camp and tennis instruction.
