Future Citizens Foundation

To offer the young people of Monterey County opportunities for a better future. We do this through active involvement in life 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 runs three different programs in Monterey County that provide people of all backgrounds the opportunity to develop as future citizens of the community. The First Tee of Monterey County at the Twin Creeks golf course in Salinas, California serves over participants of different backgrounds and provides an opportunity to develop, through golf and character education, life-enhancing values. The Pay It Forward Scholarship and Mentoring Program, through private funds, provides a four-year scholarship at California State University, Monterey Bay, to local Monterey County students who are first-generation college students. Lastly, the Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach brings junior participants, Champions Tour pros and select amateurs together on one of golf’s most beautiful stages.The tournament is hosted by Monterey Peninsula Foundation which also stages the AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the PGA TOUR and has generated more millions of dollars for charity since 1937.
