Single Moms Planet (SMP), the non-profit that offers comprehensive programs of financial literacy, business development, mentorship, and entrepreneurial training to single parents, today announced a partnership with UCLA Tennis on a month-long tennis camp.
Taking place on Sundays in October at the Griffin Tennis Club in Los Angeles and sponsored by UCLA Tennis and Recruiting for Good, the event aims to create a space for families and youth to connect and build confidence. The camp will run Oct. 6, 13, and 20th, and a final celebration event on the 27th. It will include coaching for youth by UCLA Tennis coach Rance Brown and SMP Tennis Staff. Families can expect to receive T-shirts, water bottles, and backpacks, as well as access to a final celebration that includes a pizza party.
Moms Planet was founded by Neferteri Plessy and Nicole Patterson, two entrepreneurs who were raised by single mothers, with the goal of ending the poverty cycle in single-mother households through financial literacy and business development.
“Playing tennis as a family creates a bond for single parents and their children. It improves their emotional well-being, supports families by opening up better lines of communication, and helps develop motor skills and improves the self-esteem of youth,” said Neferteri Plessy, founder of Single Moms Planet.
The event is sponsored by Recruiting for Good, a recruiting and staffing agency that helps single mothers, including SMP members, advance in the workforce. Recruiting for Good has a referral program, and every time a successful hire occurs, the agency makes a donation to Single Moms Planet. In addition, the person who made the introduction earns one of three sweet rewards ranging from fine dining, luxury shopping, or VIP tickets.
“Long before I entered the staffing industry, I worked as a teacher. My life’s passion has been mentoring and teaching kids. In 2020, I launched a work program for kids called The Sweetest Gigs- teaching sweet skills, success habits, and positive values. I feel fortunate to collaborate with Single Moms Planet and create a meaningful learning tennis experience for kids and moms too,” said Carlos Cymerman, Recruiting Partner.
