First Tee - Greater Topeka

10/13/2026

We had the privilege of sharing more about First Tee – Greater Topeka and training USD 501 PE teachers during their professional development day! ⛳️

Through our in-school programs, we’re excited to introduce more students to the game of golf while teaching valuable life skills and building character.

A big thank you to the schools and the Topeka Public Schools Foundation for making this opportunity possible. We’re excited to bring First Tee to more students in our community!

We were proud to be a guest at the Topeka Public Schools Foundation Breakfast, where we announced an exciting partnership with the Foundation! ⛳

Through this partnership, First Tee – Greater Topeka will bring the game of golf into USD 501 schools through PE classes while creating additional opportunities for students to participate in special programming and on-course experiences. More importantly, these opportunities will use the game of golf as a vehicle to teach valuable life skills, build character, and help young people grow into confident leaders and positive members of our community.

We’re excited to partner with Topeka Public Schools Foundation to create more opportunities for young people and continue building Game Changers across our community!

⛳️ Week 1 of Fall Sessions is complete!

We kicked off the season by learning about Respect and Responsibility — two important values that help us grow both on and off the course.

Through golf and life skills, we’re building Game Changers who will make a positive impact wherever they go. 💚
