Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation

Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation First Tee – Clearwater is one of three Tampa Bay area chapters and serves over 3,600 participants. For more information visit: www.chichi.org

Our mission is to educate students in a public-private partnership and improve their academic performance, self-esteem, and character using the golf course as a living classroom. The Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation is the principal operator of two educational programs: the Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy and First Tee – Clearwater, as well as two public businesses: the Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club and

Chi Chi Rodriguez Driving Range. The public-private partnership school known as Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy is a voluntary school for fourth through eighth grade students who are not achieving at their grade level, have low self-esteem or have difficulty adjusting to a larger academic environment. Students learn through interactive experiences in the fields of management, marketing, retail sales, landscaping, agronomy and various other real-world business environments. Life Skills Experience programs are offered in seven local elementary schools, as well as at the Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club and Chi Chi Rodriguez Driving Range. At First Tee – Clearwater, we’re Building Game Changers by empowering kids and teens to be the best version of themselves.

This year, we have added a few more fun incentives for our students to buy with their good behavior points. 5th graders Matthew & Patrick enjoyed a round of Golden Tee during their lunch this week. It was a blast seeing them learn the game and have a fun break!
