Mission

Our mission is to offer young people of Monterey County opportunities for a better future. We do this through active involvement in life skills and golf skills that are learned at our campus, in the classroom, and in service and mentorship to each other and the community. The Future Citizens Foundation operates three distinct programs in support of its mission: The First Tee of Monterey County, the Pay It Forward Scholarship & Mentoring Program, and the Taylor Farms Center for Learning.
