First Tee

First Tee is an international youth development organization focused on introducing the game of golf and its inherent values, especially to the minority and underprivileged youth who have traditionally been denied access to the game. Through after-school and in-school programs, First Tee helps to build character, instill life-enhancing values, and promote healthy choices. First Tee chapters are based in the most in-need communities in New York City, The Bronx, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Westchester County, Essex County, NJ, Plainfield, NJ, and multiple affiliate campuses.  https://firstteemetny.org/nyc/

Volunteering

There are many volunteering opportunities beyond golfing, including fundraising/events, operations/administration, mentoring/tutoring, and in-school program support. I was once an athlete for First Tee and can attest to the positive atmosphere created by the volunteers and coaches. First Tee made golf fun by allowing me to meet and connect with other young golfers.
