In the competitive environment of Metropolitan New York, our First Tee chapter provides something truly special: A supportive and holistic environment for our participants’ development. We’re not just about golf; we’re about changing lives.
Surprisingly, high school students often receive just a few hours of access to their school’s college counselor. That’s where we step in, offering additional on-site counseling at First Tee to guide our participants in the college search and application process. Given the competitiveness of high schools in NYC, we extend this service to middle-schoolers as well.
This counseling is essential for keeping our participants informed about deadlines and graduation requirements. We assist them in finding schools that align with their aspirations, identifying dream, match, and safety schools, providing guidance on the FAFSA, helping craft compelling school-specific application essays, and supporting them in managing anxiety and stress.
We take immense pride in our success, with 100% of our participants gaining acceptance to at least one college, and most securing a spot at one of their top choices.
