MAKING A FULLEFFECT IN YOUR COMMUNITY

MISSION

In 2010, Full Effect Group was established as a 501 c3 non-profit organization with the purpose of providing a safe haven where inner-city youth participate in a comprehensive program of journalism. We supplied the necessary resources to local schools for training students interested in gaining skills, knowledge, and firsthand experience in the field of broadcasting, communication, and other related areas of expertise. This journalism program has been a recipient of the Verizon Foundation Grant Award. As an USTA grant recipient of Grow The Game of Tennis, allowed Mingo Tennis to offer activations in NYCHA.

In addition to training individuals to develop or improve skills as amateur radio operators, we are now seeing kids enjoy the game of tennis. As they hit forehands and backhands, yelling “nice shot” from across the net, they are developing well-stroked balls, and more importantly, good sportsmanship and social skills such as learning how to shake hands cordially at the end of a match. This provides kids with a sense of respect

INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
