Mission Statement
The purpose of First Tee - Silicon Valley is to develop youth through the game of golf throughout Silicon Valley. Our mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf. Participants learn to appreciate diversity, resolve conflicts, build confidence and set goals for their future.
About This Cause
The Program: First Tee - Silicon Valley provides the youth of our area with "The Life Skills Experience," which is a curriculum developed by experts in youth development. Dedicated and caring coaches use the curriculum and its games to engage youth in the fun game of golf. The values required to be successful on the golf course translate directly into everyday life. This "seamless integration" ensures that our youth internalize the value of perseverance, respect, confidence, and more. While our program is open to all the youth in Silicon Valley, we make a concerted effort to expose our program to the under-served youth of our community. Significant financial assistance is readily available for families who need it. Donate: As a public charity (501c3) the existence and growth of First Tee - Silicon Valley relies upon the generosity of our supporters. Donated funds enable us to provide the facilities, equipment, and scholarships that ensure the quality and reach of our program. On behalf of all our participants, First Tee - Silicon Valley extends our deepest and warmest gratitude to the charity of our donors. We offer a variety of ways to meet your personal giving goals. Know that whichever way works best for you, 100% of your donation goes directly to its intended purpose. Volunteer: Individuals who donate their time to First Tee - Silicon Valley do so for a variety of reasons. They enjoy building relationships and watching the growth of local youth. It's for the feeling they get when they see the positive impact they make in the lives of our participants. Many volunteers want to share their passion for the game of golf. Whatever your reason is for volunteering, we've cultivated a wonderful First Tee Family that we'd like you to be a part of. First Tee - Silicon Valley believes positive youth development happens through a meaningful, quality relationship between the coach and participant. Therefore, we are always looking for high quality volunteers to serve as mentors and administrative assistants. Volunteers with knowledge and experience in teaching, coaching, mentoring or playing golf are ideal as mentors. Volunteers with office and technical experience are well-suited as administrative assistants. We ask volunteers to donate a minimum of 2.5 hours per week assisting our classes. Classes are generally held during the following time periods: Spring -- mid-March to mid-May Summer -- mid-June to mid-August Fall -- mid-September to mid-November Year End -- mid-November to mid-December Winter -- mid-January to mid-February
