Portland After-School Tennis

 

This group of "energetic and dedicated" volunteers is an example of how our PAST kids “give back” to other PAST Kids.  After several years of participating in Portland After-School Programs, this talented group of young men was ready to take the court as volunteer assistants to Shawn Alfred, PAST Instructor for our after-school program at Benson High School.  We appreciate their dedication to the sport and the “great role” model they represent by teaching and mentoring fellow students at Benson High School!
