First Tee brings to communities an affordable and accessible program that marries sport with character education for youth ages 7-18. Golf is the context for teaching the core values of honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, and judgment – all in the context of improving family and community relationships. Diversity is critical, so no one is turned away for inability to pay. Once a week, young people participate in small group classes, building friendships, self-confidence, and resilience while playing golf. Special opportunities throughout the year, such as STEM camps, mentorship for girl golfers, and national tournaments, provide participants with additional enrichment experiences and spaces to develop leadership skills. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, First Tee helps youth become good golfers and even better people.
