Chapter students Isabella Rubio and Shrey Shalia attended the First Tee Game Changers Academy in Philadelphia in July.
The academy addresses the challenges and experiences our teens face to better equip them to build the strength of character to be game changers in their communities. The students from across the country who attended this five-day learning and empowerment academy participated in important conversations around issues of identity, racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“I honestly had the best experience in my life, said Isabella, “It has made me a better person and has allowed me to see other people’s points of view. I have lots of intel to bring back to our chapter too!”
Shrey added, “The First Tee Game Changers leadership program was an eye-opening experience that taught me the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. I believe privilege is an opportunity that should not go to waste and brings the responsibility to give back.”
