First Tee – Greater Houston Junior Mentor Program was created for participants ages 13+ to help model and teach the First Tee Program curriculum to participants ages 7-9.

Junior Mentors provide a vital service to the First Tee community by decreasing the student-to-instructor ratio in our classes, directly improving our young golfers’ learning experience. At the same time, they build their resumé and real-world career competencies. All Junior Mentors positions will work directly with our staff and will receive ample support, guidance, and training.
