Serve and Return is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to positively impacting the lives of the underserved communities of Monroe and West Monroe as well the surrounding areas through the sport of tennis. We offer no-cost tennis lessons, scholarships, charity drives, community events and programs to shine a light on our youth and kind adults.
In the game of tennis each player "starts with love" your generous donation can help us continue to share love. Please consider making a contribution and help us share kindness to make a difference in the lives of our youth. Your donation will assist in purchasing tennis equipment and awarding scholarships for select high school seniors.

Racquets & Jackets is a community outreach initiative by Serve and Return of Louisiana designed to support youth during the winter months. The program combines a free tennis clinic with the distribution of donated jackets to children in need, promoting both physical activity and warmth during colder seasons.
