Empower Underserved Youth and Communities Through Pickleball!

At Positive Communities Inc. (dba Pickleball Positive Communities (PPC)), we believe that pickleball is more than just a game—it’s a pathway to success. Our programs bring the joy of pickleball to underserved communities, teaching teamwork, perseverance, and confidence while integrating Pickleball Positive's A to Z Behaviors for Success to help youth thrive on and off the court.

in 2026, PPC expects to impact over 400 youth across New York alone. Since our founding in 2024, Pickleball Positive Communities has delivered school-based, after-school, camp, and special event programs serving low-income communities across New York City—including the South Bronx and Lower East Side—as well as in Westchester. Our work reflects a broader vision: to expand our programs across New York, nationwide and even internationally, ensuring that more communities can access the transformative power of pickleball and the essential life skills it builds.

Your support makes this possible! Every donation helps us provide:
- Pickleball paddles & equipment for students, schools, and communities who wouldn’t otherwise have access
- Coaching from inspiring role models
- Life skills training that builds confidence and leadership

For example, $250 empowers one student and $1,750 empowers a court with six students and a coach.

Together, we can break down barriers, build stronger communities, and empower the next generation - one paddle at a time.
