building game changers
We believe every young person deserves the chance to build inner strength before the world demands it. First Tee coaches work diligently to integrate the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, where kids feel excited to grow, safe to fail, and better equipped for whatever comes their way. Our 2024 goal is to enroll over 17,000 kids in programming while also increasing our economically disadvantaged students 60%.
