Our TARGET Program is used to introduce the game of golf through First Tee outreach efforts that take the form of summer clinics, sessions with schools, and through activities offered at after-school programs or youth serving agencies (e.g., Boys and Girls Club, YMCA). Target also provides educational opportunities for parents and Board Members, as well as promotional events for potential sponsors and volunteer groups within the community.
