The Life Skills Program is one of the unique features that separates The First Tee from many other junior golf programs. The First Tee Life Skills Program is used to further enhance and instill the inherent values of the game of golf, and show participants how these values transfer into other aspects of their lives. Students are taught about responsibility, trust, how to make decisions by thinking about the possible consequences, how to set goals, how to define those goals, the importance of maintaining a positive attitude as well as the importance of showing respect for others. The First Tee sites are located throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. Today The First Tee has over 130 facilities in development, and there are 53 facilities open.
Volunteers are critical assets to local facilities.
Since each facility is operated independently, volunteering needs will vary in number and purpose. For more information contact a facility near you. Affiliates are existing golf courses, located in areas where there are First Tee facilities, that agree to provide additional course access to certified First Tee cardholders during available times at reduced costs. If you are interested in donating to The First Tee, you may do so at either the local or national level. If you have questions concerning equipment donations please contact Guy Garbarino.
