First Tee – Ontario is a youth development program offered by Golf Canada that introduces the game of golf and its inherent values to young people.

Through after school and in school programs, the organization helps shape the lives of young people from all walks of life by reinforcing values like integrity, respect and perseverance through the game of golf. And it’s making a difference.

First Tee – Ontario’s mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, promote life-enhancing values and healthy choices through the game of golf. 

In collaboration with the PGA of Canada, First Tee – Ontario instills character development as a fundamental element of Golf Canada’s junior golf program.

All of First Tee – Ontario’s programs give kids a safe place to grow with coaches trained to create supportive environments and who help them navigate challenges during golf lessons but more importantly, off the course. 

Kids take the lessons they learn in the program with them into everything they do. Through the personal growth and junior golf programs, kids’ self-confidence grows tremendously, inspiring more active participation in leadership opportunities and events, as well as community involvement.

First Tee – Ontario offers programs at Golf Courses, Schools and Community Centres to provide kids with greater access to character development.
