Dr. Yanping Yu, President

Dr. Yanping Yu is a first generation Chinese American who came to the United States of America on her own. She has attended Sun Yat-sen Medical University and Beijing Medical University in China and obtained her MD degree in 1989. She went to NYU Medical University for Internal Medicine and Nephrology training from 1994 to 1999. She is a Board Certified Nephrologist, a member of American Society of Nephrology and American Medical Association. She is the recipient of the 2021 Distinguished Asian American Award granted by the Suffolk County Asian American Board. Most importantly, she is the proud mom of Owen Dong and Kevin Dong. Both have been taking tennis lessons at the young age of five. Their love for tennis, the physical and mental benefit from the longer term regular practice prompted her to establish a tennis club for the youth, with the older children teaching the younger ones while having fun playing. In the process, it evolved into a non profit youth development organization which encompasses multiple clubs with the purpose of providing the opportunities for every child to learn, to improve, to grow, to lead, to contribute, and prepare them to enter the society to lead an independent life.

The slogan for this organization is “ From the Youth, For the Youth, For the Future”. Each club is established and operated by the founders. The website, logo, banner, T shirt were designed by our founders. Everyone of them have demonstrated tremendous enthusiasm, talent and dedication. They truly are our hope, our pride, our future.
