RYE —Positive character traits such as honesty, respect, integrity and courtesy using the game of golf as a platform, is expanding across New Hampshire to impact young people’s lives. From children who have never been on a course, to a teen with a passion for the game, the goal is to encourage core values in ages 5-17. Kingston, Brentwood and Fremont area residents are welcome!
The First Tee of New Hampshire, based in North Hampton, is a nonprofit youth development organization whose mission is to impact youth by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.
The Chapter serves hundreds of young people a year through afterschool and vacation programs, youth tournaments, activities and special day events. Participants are taught the Nine Core Values: Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy and Judgment.
The Winter Schedule is now available.
