December 12, 2024 | Participant Spotlight
In the winter months, our coaches take a break from On-Course Programs to visit schools and community partners, and our administrative team spends time surveying parents and program participants (like 15 year-old Tayah) to better understand what matters most to First Tee families. We look forward to sharing all of those findings in our Annual Impact Report (coming soon). In the meantime, we hope Tayah’s On-Course experience will inspire you to register or volunteer for spring!
