Our Mission
First Serve — New Mexico exists to strengthen the lives and enhance the character of Santa Fe’s children through education, life skills, and tennis. It is founded on the belief that the combination of these activities in a supportive environment can:
- Change a child’s total trajectory from mediocre to excellent in academics, life skills, and tennis;
- Transform a child’s life from apathy to involvement and from shyness to confidence in communication; and,
- Give each child a stronger sense of self, and an inherent respect for others.
