Mission Statement
To impact the lives of young people in Mississippi by providing educational programs that build character, instill life enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.
Description
The First Tee of Central Mississippi was established on March 30th, 2017 by the Life Enhancement and Achievement Program (LEAP, Inc.). It is a locally owned and operated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Tax ID #47-2832072. The First Tee of Central Mississippi currently has a partnership with four local golf courses: LeFleur’s Bluff Golf Course, The Refuge Golf Course, Grove Park Golf Course, and Sonny Guy Golf Course. We plan to have more partnership with other local golf courses in the future.
Through in-school and after-school programs, we help shape the lives of young people from all walks of life by reinforcing values like integrity, respect, and perseverance through the game of golf. No student or group will be turned away based on their inability to pay. The First Tee of Central Mississippi welcomes all participants, including at-risk youth, economically disadvantaged, and youth with disabilities.
