First Tee – Cleveland Diversity and Inclusion Statement:

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are at the core of First Tee’s identity and essential to our continued success as an organization. First Tee – Cleveland reaches kids of all ages and backgrounds and is the entry point for them to learn about and experience the game of golf. Diversity is the variety of similar and different characteristics among people, including age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, thinking style, geography, socio-economic background and all other attributes that make each person unique. We are committed to increasing diversity and to ensuring it is part of the fabric of our organizational culture in all aspects of the chapter’s operations. This is an expression of who we are and an intentional process to ensure that our mission is fulfilled. We will remain focused on increasing participation of kids from all backgrounds and characteristics by teaching them the game of golf through character education.
