Pathfinder Immersion Program
First Tee – Greater Charleston launched a multi-year immersion program in 2021 that provides impactful year-round experiences for students on the brink of success. Participants—who are nominated by mentors, teachers, or coaches—enter the program the summer before 6th grade and continue through high school. They meet Monday-Friday during the summer and on Saturdays during the school year for golf, mentoring, and various STEAM enrichment activities. Participants also receive healthy meals, transportation, and support from dedicated instructors.

- Onsite company visits for program participants
- Q&A sessions with company leaders and program participants
