About Us The First Tee is a program of the World Golf Foundation, Inc., a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization, envisioned in 1997 to provide young people from age seven to seventeen an opportunity to develop character education, life-enhancing skills and values, through the game of golf. Central Coast Junior Golf, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) Chapter of The First Tee licensed to do business as The First Tee of Central Coast in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties.
Our Progress Led by a dedicated board of directors, the commitment and generosity of all the major golf organizations in the United States, Foundations, and individual contributions, The First Tee Central Coast has grown rapidly.
National Support U.S. corporations and the golf industry have banded together and given there unprecedented support to The First Tee; nearly two dozen companies provide discounted goods and services to The First Tee Chapters throughout the country, thereby lowering construction and operating costs. National fundraising efforts have produced $45 million in financial support, which in turn has been used to leverage our local fundraising efforts. National youth service agencies such as the Police Athletic League, YMCA and the Boys and Girls Clubs have embraced the concept of The First Tee and we are coordinating our programs.
Our Future Goals As we focus on the next five years, The First Tee Central Coast has established ambitious goals to serve the young people in our community; to raise $1 million in order to enroll and support a minimum of 2,500 children at seven golf and Life Skills learning facilities in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo County.
