First Tee - Greater Richmond is a nonprofit organization that uses the game of golf to teach young people character, life skills, and healthy decision making. Through programs delivered in elementary schools, on golf courses, and at youth centers, the organization introduces youth to golf while promoting values that support personal development and positive behaviors. It serves the Richmond area by operating three public facilities—the Tattersall Youth Development Center in Chesterfield, the Elson Redmond Memorial Driving Range in Richmond, and Belmont in Henrico—aiming to strengthen the character of the community. Based in the Richmond region, the group targets children and adolescents as its primary audience and relies on mentoring, coaching, volunteering, and community involvement to advance its mission. The organization positions itself within the nonprofit sector focused on youth development through sport, seeking to influence youth outcomes and encourage adult engagement in the cause.
