Mission Statement
Our Mission: To impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs
that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices

Description
The First Tee of Richmond and Chesterfield uses golf as a medium for teaching youths life skills. Our curriculum revolves around nine core values inherent to the game of golf and fundmental to good character. Through weekly golf instruction, participants learn courtesy, perseverance, honesty, integrity, judgement, sportsmanship, confidence, responsibility, and respect, as well as healthy decision making. Our approach is hands-on, active, and fun. We operate two green grass facilities, one in downtown Richmond, and the other (a full 18-hole course) in Chesterfield.
