Our Vision
At First Tee – Sandhills, our mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character and instill life-enhancing values through the game of golf. As a youth development organization, we combine mentorship with accessible programming and outstanding curriculum, to create active learning experiences that build perseverance, confidence, and resilience.
Participants in our program engage with trained, caring adult coaches & mentors, and interact with a curriculum that is both developmentally and age appropriate. Kids and teens in our program learn life skills that stay with them forever, such as understanding and managing emotions, resolving conflicts, setting up step-by-step goals, planning for the future, and appreciating diversity.
Through deliberate efforts to foster growth, we’ve designed a space, a Community Hub, that will benefit First Tee – Sandhills participants and our surrounding community. This permanent space will increase access to our life skills curriculum and build a permanent home to enable more kids and teens to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges.
