The 2024 First Tee Leadership Series in partnership with the PGA Tour Superstore finished this week. Thank you to the 12 FTSV participants that attended, and a huge thank you to General Manager Brad Hanson and his team at PGATSS Cupertino for leading the class!
What is the Leadership Series?
The First Tee Leadership Series is one of the exciting educational opportunities available to our high school participants. During a five-week period, 12 FTSV high school participants came together to learn about their values and strengths, to identify potential career paths, and to set goals that put them on the path towards success. Near the end of the series, the participants presented their chosen career and how their values and strengths fit within that career and illustrated what steps they plan to take in order to make it all happen. All participants received feedback on their presentation skills, and the series concluded with an informational panel hosted by First Tee Alumni from across the country. Of the 12 participants, we were allowed to select 5 that can apply for the upcoming Leadership Summit in Montana and the Leadership Academy in Atlanta.
In addition to their work and presentations in class, we were proud of how they listened and learned from each other, which are both tips for demonstrating our first life skill, Respect.
