Review for First Tee - Colorado Rocky Mountains, Denver, CO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved with the First Tee of Denver for eight years. I started out as a participant in their 'Girls Night Out' Class then moved up to being a member of the 'Players Club'. I am now a Mentor over the summer and volunteer with the Read N Swing program during the school year. The First Tee of Denver has played a huge role in who I am today and who I hope to be in the future. The program's nine core values are some of my most prized qualities, and are the reason that I continue to succeed in school and other aspects of my life. The organization also helped me develop my future plans of being a teacher. Through personal experience it has become clear to me that the First Tee of Denver truly cares about all of their participants.

The organization has helped to make me a better person. They also gave me my first job. However, the selection process is not easy, they have a rigorous selection process designed to help the participants in real world job searches.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
