The mission of First Tee - Greater Richmond is to impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values, and promote healthy choices through the game of golf. The program introduces kids to the game and its inherent values through programs in elementary schools, on golf courses and at youth centers around the country. First Tee - Greater Richmond will impact our community by positively influencing behaviors of young people and inspiring adults to mentor, coach, volunteer, donate to the cause and uphold mission, thus preparing youths to make sound decisions, exercise good character, and live satisfying, productive lives in which they can give back to the community. First Tee - Greater Richmond operates three public golf facilities in the Richmond area - the Tattersall Youth Development Center in Chesterfield; the Elson Redmond Memorial Driving Range in Richmond; and Belmont in Henrico. Through its facilities, First Tee - Greater Richmond aims to impact the lives of young people while also embracing its vision of "strengthening the character of our community."
