The Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation is the principal operator of two educational programs: the Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy and First Tee Clearwater, as well as two public businesses: the Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club and Chi Chi Rodriguez Driving Range. Our programs are grounded in the human fundamental needs of love and respect. We work to build confidence, instill discipline and provide positive and engaging educational experiences. A unique forum was chosen to achieve our goal - the golf course. Golf is frequently considered the game of successful people - people who would be excellent role models for Chi Chi's Kids. Golf also requires self-control, responsibility and respect for others. Outstanding athletic ability, size and dexterity are not necessary to participate. Success for Chi Chi's Kids had to be reached through (as Chi Chi said), "love, understanding, compassion, and self-esteem." Although Chi Chi was raised in a poor family, his family was rich in all of those important qualities. The target group for Foundation's activities is children ranging in ages from 7 to 17. We currently serve more than 3,600 children in our programs. Up to one hundred and twenty-six (126) of those are students that attend the Chi Chi Academy, a privately supported public school in partnership with the Pinellas County School Board for students who have been identified as at risk of dropping out of school. Underperforming student candidates are typically identified and referred to the Academy by Pinellas County School District guidance counselors. Students mostly live north of Ulmerton Road in Largo to Tarpon Springs. To be accepted into the program, a child must meet two or more of the following requirements: (1) face academic challenges, (2) require additional assistance with social skills, (3) have poor school attendance, (4) lack of a strong family support system, or (5) obtain some form of government assistance. The Foundation uses a holistic approach in its programs. Emphasis is placed on homework assistance, tutoring, social skills, core values, personal grooming, business skills, retail, art, landscaping, and golf. Golf was chosen as a key ingredient for the program because it does not require extraordinary size, speed, or strength to achieve success. The sport does, however, require consistent personal discipline, concentration, honesty, motivation and tenacity. These teachable traits plus exposure to role models of successful adult golfers made golf a natural choice. The Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy - The Public Private Partnership School known as Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy is a voluntary school for fifth through eighth grade students not achieving at their grade level, have low self-esteem or have difficulty adjusting to a larger academic environment. Students learn through interactive experiences in the fields of management, marketing, retail sales, landscaping, agronomy and various other real-world business environments. Through the school's "Shadow Program", students, on a rotating basis, get to work with an adult in every department of the Youth Foundation, including the Golf Club and Driving Range businesses. While learning about various jobs, students see how basic educational skills like math and reading are used on an everyday basis. The teachers verify that students are much more enthusiastic when they see how skills they learn in the classroom are used outside the classroom, in the real world. The Shadow Program also reinforces social skills, which are an integral part of our educational setting. The Pinellas County School system provides the teachers, the teacher assistants, support staff, student services and technology. The Foundation provides the campus facility, Academy Director and Counselor, golf education and equipment, as well as classroom enrichment materials. The Golf Club delivers the real-life learning experience. "We maximize the resources that the students would receive at traditional schools and provide them with additional support. The students have a much greater opportunity to succeed because of that support," according to our Chairman of the Board, Tom James. The small school atmosphere, individualized attention, counseling, availability of student services and specialized instructional components taught by the Pinellas County certified teachers foster a desire in Chi Chi's Kids to succeed in school and life. First Tee Clearwater program - First Tee - Clearwater is one of three Tampa Bay area chapters and serves over 3,600 participants. Life Skills Experience programs are offered in seven local elementary schools, as well as at the Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club and Chi Chi Rodriguez Driving Range. At First Tee Clearwater, we're Building Game Changers by empowering kids and teens to be the best version of themselves. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with character-building, we create learning experiences that help kids uncover their inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that they can carry to everything they do. Our trained coaches not only provide an introduction to junior golf and an opportunity to enhance golf skills, but they also create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment to help children prepare for life ahead, including friendships, school, college and even their careers. Through our program, kids will learn skills that stay with them for life: understanding and managing emotions, resolving conflicts, setting up step-by-step goals, planning for the future, appreciating diversity, and golf fundamentals and advanced techniques.
