Last week, she returned to Beyond Housing to encourage the next generation of Viking Advantage graduates with a simple message: Keep going.

The vision for Normandie Reimagined is becoming reality.

Over the past week, 24 young people participated in the first on-course youth programming at Normandie through a partnership with First Tee—receiving golf instruction, mentorship, and life-skills training while building confidence and character.

The future Jack Nicklaus-designed course will attract golfers from across the region. But its greater purpose is creating opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and thrive.
