Overview
Mission
The mission of the first tee of st. Petersburg is to positively impact the youth of our communities by providing a learning environment and educational programs that promote character development and life-enhancing vales through the game of golf, while ensuring fair access for all children.
What it reported doing in 2024
At the first tee of st. Petersburg we serve approximately 1,200 youths each year and our program consists of a diverse group of young people. Approximately 35% of our participants are minority and 35% are female. Of our 1,200 plus youths, approximately 30% are considered "at risk" as they will have to overcome at least one major obstacle to become fine citizens of our community. These obstacles may include but are not limited to: poverty, broken homes, single parent homes, learning disabilities, etc. The first tee programs are offered twelve months a year and include: target clinics, practice & play school programs, saturady half-day programs, full and half day summer camps, tournaments, in-school programs, leagues, outreach programs, a middle school competitive program, inner city programs through local churches, schools, youth organizations, special olympics and academy prep center for learning. Our ultimate long-term and ongoing goal is to see the youth who participate in the progarm become the great future leaders of the community.

- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
