Capital improvements to Rancho del Pueblo Golf Course (San Jose), Baylands Golf Links (Palo Alto), and Gavilan College Golf Course (Gilroy) as well as endowments are part of our strategic plans to expand capacity for programs.
Our Vision
FTSV’s vision is to expand our course capacity from 3,000 to 6,000 kids per year and endow our entire program. (FTSV’s two programs are classes at golf courses and outreach to schools and YSO’s led by mentors teaching a character-building curriculum of life and golf lessons.) All youth are welcome regardless of background or ability to pay, so we focus on maintaining our 85% ethnic diversity and increasing our financial aid from 30% to 50%.
