Our School Program plays a crucial role in extending our reach and impact year-round throughout Chicago. By partnering with schools in underserved areas, we ensure that students not only learn the fundamentals of golf but also gain valuable life skills that shape their academic and personal growth. Through our trained coaches, we introduce students to the Five Key Commitments—pursuing goals, growing through challenges, collaborating with others, building positive self-identity, and using good judgment. These principles empower students to excel in school and beyond, with 73% of participants reporting increased academic confidence after three or more years in our program. The School Program is an essential part of our mission to provide life-changing opportunities to young people, fostering leadership, resilience, and confidence that will last a lifetime.
