The First Tee National School Program provides educators with an opportunity to bring a certified, structured youth development program into their school to teach children nine core values, life skills and healthy habits through the game of golf. Participating schools are provided with the necessary elements to deliver the program including equipment, a curriculum manual and either online or in-person training.
Currently, over 100 Chapters of The First Tee are maximizing their outreach efforts through the National School Program. Above and beyond their Life Skills programs, collectively this group of Chapters is realizing an extended reach to more than one million elementary students in over 150 school districts across the country
In 2011, the Greater Austin Chapter served more than 5,000 kids in the Austin community at the Harvey Penick Golf Campus, multiple satellite locations around Austin, and the National School Program (NSP) which brought The First Tee curriculum, 9 Core Values and 9 Health Habits, into 7 area schools.
Manor Independent School District Superintendent Andrew Kim not only implemented the program in his schools, but also adopted the “9 Core Values” throughout the entire district where they are used as the foundation for success for his students. We’re very proud of his work there, and thrilled to see the kids flourish under the program. In 2012, we are expecting the National School Program to grow exponentially and will need the assistance of the business community to support equipment in the schools.
If you would like to implement this program in your school, please contact Jennifer MacCurrach to request a meeting and discuss the National School Program
