Please join us in Building Game Changes across Southern Colorado, as 100% of our youth, is 100% of our future!
Since 2013, First Tee- Southern Colorado has been working to address the challenges facing our young people. Our kids and teens are facing challenges unseen by previous generations. They live in a world where social pressures are always on, calm and confidence are hard to access, and perseverance is a required superpower every day. Did you know:
- 1 in 7 students are not gradating from high school
- 11 million kids don't have a safe place to go from 3-6pm
- Nearly 1 in 3 teens is experience anxiety
- 85% of parents believe that Character Development is a lost value that should be more emphasized in todays society
At First Tee, we see golf as a metaphor for life. It's not the score that counts, but what you learn along the way. Like in life, golf requires goal setting, working with others and digging deep when things get tough. We have seamlessly integrated the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, where we create active learning experiences that build inner strength, self confidence and resilience that kids can carry in everything they do. We call this building Game Changers!
