Adult Volunteer Opportunities

Junior Volunteering (Ages 13+)

Our main youth facility sits on a 70-acre property, operating under a long-term lease with the City of Houston that was recently extended through 2044. This gives us the foundation to build something extraordinary, but we need your help to continue changing lives and meet our ambitious fundraising goal to break ground in Spring 2026.

Your contribution does more than build a facility - it invests in the lives of young people and families who call First Tee home. Together, we can create a welcoming space where learning, growth, and community thrive for generations to come. There are many ways, large and small, to donate to help make this vision a reality.

Congratulations to Our First Tee Evans Scholar Selections

We’re excited to announce that after a competitive application and interview process, a group of outstanding First Tee students has been selected to join the new caddie program at Lakeside, BraeBurn, and Pine Forest Country Clubs.

This opportunity is part of a broader national effort led by the Western Golf Association Caddie Academies, which use caddying, the game of golf, and the Evans Scholarship to bring life-changing opportunities to young men and women.

These students will receive professional training, gain valuable work experience, and represent First Tee - Greater Houston as they take the first steps on this meaningful path. We are proud of their dedication and excited to see where this journey leads!
