First Tee— Inland Empire is a chapter of the First Tee® network, a private, non-profit dedicated to youth character development and academic excellence.
First Tee— Inland Empire (FTIE) serves San Bernardino and Riverside Counties through three channels: Life Skills Education classes at local golf courses, the First Tee Community Program at parks and after-school, and the First Tee National School Program delivered in physical education classes within local schools. Our programs impact children ages 5 to 17 with life skills, growth opportunities, and a supportive environment. Our goal is to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to play golf and experience the positive impact it can have on their life.
