The First Tee of WNY has made great progress in Monroe County since expanding its Chapter into the area in early 2019. First Tee is a youth development organization that impacts 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.
The First Tee has three primary channels of delivering its programming: First Tee National School Program, which introduces golf to elementary age students through physical education classes; First Tee DRIVE, an after school program delivered by trained leaders at other youth service locations like YMCA and Boys and Girls Clubs; and the Life Skills Experience program which is taught on local golf courses and runs as a 7 or 8 week session.
Monroe County Parks Golf has committed to supporting the Life Skills Experience programs at Genesee Valley Golf Course and Churchville Golf Course. The summer 2020 class dates and times will be available in January and registration will open in May.
The First Tee of WNY is looking for committed Coaches and Volunteers for 2020! Coaches and volunteers are imperative to delivering quality golf and character education instruction and are provided with extensive training to ensure they have the necessary resources to deliver First Tee curriculums.

The First Tee of Western New York would like to thank their current Rochester community partners including the Rochester District Golf Association, WNY PGA Section, Monroe County Parks Golf, Greater Rochester After-School Alliance, Rochester City School District, Rush-Henrietta Central School District, and Hilton School District.
“We look forward to our progress and getting the beloved Rochester golf community involved with First Tee of WNY programs,” says Bromley.
