First Tee - Greater Seattle is one chapter of a national/international non-profit youth initiative called The First Tee. Our legal name is Seattle Jr. Golf Foundation and we do business as First Tee - Greater Seattle. We are a separately incorporated 501(c) (3) organization. First Tee was created by the World Golf Foundation in 1997 to provide young people of all ethnic and economic backgrounds an opportunity to develop, through golf and character education, life-enhancing values such as sportsmanship, perseverance, and courtesy. By engaging young people in a combination of life skills, leadership and golf activities, they are exposed to positive traits to help them achieve goals in life. In the process, participants can become valuable assets to their community. The First Tee Program is the unique component that sets First Tee apart from other successful junior golf and youth development programs. In 2015, First Tee - Greater Seattle won the Community Impact Award for Youth Development from Seattle Business magazine as a top charity serving youth in Washington State.

First Tee - Greater Seattle was created in 2002 through a collaborative effort of First Tee, Broadmoor Golf Foundation and the City of Seattle. Currently, the chapter is serving nearly 3,000 youth each year in its certifying Life Skills program. First Tee - Greater Seattle started programming in 2003.
