The MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation is a Northside / Urban Core youth program built around tennis, tutoring, and after-school support. Google’s operational listing for this slug is MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation- Teen Center at 1055 West 6th Street, with a stored snapshot of 3.8 from 31 reviews and phone (904) 359-5437. That matches the older card. Thirty-one reviews is a small nonprofit sample, not a failed 1-to-10 pin on a famous university, so the score is kept. No Yelp card is stored. 1055 West 6th Street is Club 904, the teen center the foundation built next to its older youth center at 1096 West 6th Street. Public pages describe a 13,000-square-foot building with study space, a teaching kitchen, a game room, and counseling rooms. Tours in foundation copy start at the youth center and finish across the street at the teen center. This Stay Safe Jax page uses the Google teen-center pin because that is the confident Places match; it is the same organization, not a different charity. Google’s hours snapshot is Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturday and Sunday closed. After-school programs typically fill the afternoon half of that window. Google marks wheelchair parking and a wheelchair entrance; it does not confirm a wheelchair restroom. Stay Safe Jax did not inspect the gym or courts. A 3.8 from 31 reviews is mixed and thin. That is ordinary for a facility families visit for programs rather than for Yelp-style dining. News coverage is positive and specific. News4JAX reported on October 2, 2025, that the foundation was named one of ten USTA Community Impact Hubs, with plans to reach more Northside youth. The Ponte Vedra Recorder’s September 11, 2025, story said the USTA Foundation would provide about $250,000 over two years to help the hub reach more than 11,000 young people and families by the end of 2027, plus school programming, court repairs, and coach recruiting. MWYF already served about 500 students in after-school and summer programs, the Recorder said. A July 29, 2026, Recorder follow-up described a three-day tennis jamboree with about 350 elementary and middle-school students. Open flags stay at 0. There is no current sourced warning. Residents comparing Urban Core youth programs should use this listing for the West 6th Street teen center, stored Google 3.8, weekday hours, and the 2025 USTA hub designation. It is not a public school and not the Winston Family YMCA.
