What We Do
RodneyStreet is a 501(c)3 organization that provides year-round opportunities for Wilmington area youth on and off the tennis court. RodneyStreet combines athletics, academics, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) programming, field trips and character-building activities.
After School Programs - Offered three days a week after school and include one day of weekend match-play per week. This program time is split evenly between on-court tennis instruction and our hands-on academic component, STEAM.
Summer Tennis & Enrichment Program - Our eight-week, full-day summer camp with weekly field trips included. Tennis skills are refined in the mornings, and the afternoons are spent creating and learning in the classroom.
Work Force Development Program - RodneyStreet partnered with DHSS as a site for the Delaware Work Ready Program. Teens must be eligible through DHSS criteria to be paid. Other teens can participate in the program if they are enrolled in RodneyStreet Programming. We are walking our teens through workforce development training to educate them on soft skills such as: communication, adaptability, leadership, time management, dress for the job, finance/budgeting, etc. This will prepare them for the work environment and make them more marketable. After 12 weeks of training, they will begin "on the job training" as Program Counselors with RodneyStreet or they will be placed at a worksite.
