Chapter participant Annika Collado was selected this summer for a life-changing opportunity: the First Tee Leadership Summit at Arthur Blank’s West Creek Ranch!
“It was an amazing experience and a once-in-a-lifetime trip. I learned so much about what it means to be a leader. All the speakers gave unique perspectives on leadership and how they became successful leaders. I have already started to use some of the lessons they taught us as I transition into college. I met incredible people who taught me so much beyond the classes, and I also made amazing friends. Thank you, First Tee, Mr. Arthur Blank and PGA TOUR Superstore, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me this opportunity.”
The First Tee Leadership Summit in partnership with PGA TOUR Superstore builds on the 5-week local Leadership Series and is designed for teens to explore leadership concepts including (1) building authentic relationships by developing awareness, (2) growing through challenge via positive risk taking, and (3) developing positive self-identity through dynamic outdoor and team building activities. Set in the unforgettable backdrop of West Creek Ranch in Montana, each teen is challenged to build on their current strengths and values in an intimate setting which provides community building, inspiration and connection with their peers, adult mentors, and the outdoors.
