First Tee Shenandoah Valley

The First Tee - Shenandoah Valley is the premier youth development organization that uses a Life-Skills Education curriculum to impact the lives of young people. We provide learning facilities and educational programs that promote character-development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf.

Our program services the youth of Harrisonburg, Rockingham, Shenandoah, Page, and Augusta Counties. Kids ages 5-17 are invited to participate in our golf and life skill programs. 

As we introduce the game, we also introduce a life skills curriculum that supports the development of values found within the game of golf, including honesty, integrity, perseverance and respect. This is a game changer –  for the kids, and for our organization. Now, for over two decades we’ve been committed to helping kids build character strengths and important life skills through the game and providing all kids with access to opportunities for personal growth in a fun and safe environment. While we began on golf courses, we expanded by bringing our program to physical education classes across the country through our in-school and after-school programs.
