TGA Premier Junior Golf is a youth development program for K-8th grade students. TGA conducts a five level after school golf enrichment program. TGA’s curriculum was created by golf professionals and education experts to include lesson plans that are fun, safe and educational. As students matriculate through the five level program, TGA provides opportunities for them to apply the skills they’re learning at their schools to the golf course through transition programs such as TGA camps, tournaments and clinics at partner golf facilities.
All TGA programs serve as an extension of the classroom by incorporating the following components:
1. Golf instruction that is age-appropriate, effective and retainable
2. Character development lessons through our initiative “Play the Fair Way with TGA”
3. Physical education and fitness
4. Rules & Etiquette lessons utilizing our custom 2 Hole Teaching Aid
5. Academic lessons in math, science, history and English
Every TGA student gets our custom-made Student Handbook that includes all of these lessons plus interactive activities, skills challenges and notes. TGA provides all necessary equipment, including multiple sizes of junior golf clubs that properly fit kids ages 3-16 and an innovative practice ball that is safe for schools but flies like a real golf ball. All TGA instructors are certified through an extensive training program.
Slow Food in Schools is a network of community-based youth food education projects. Ranging from schoolyard gardens, to cooking classes, to farm to school initiatives, Slow Food in Schools projects are diverse – yet all offer children hands-on opportunities to explore where their food comes from.
Slow Food in Schools Projects
Slow Food in Schools supports local projects as they create meaningful relationships between young people and food. By placing an emphasis on hands-on experiences, community interaction, and the pleasures of the table, Slow Food in Schools projects help to strengthen the food communities of tomorrow by engaging youth today.
Each Slow Food in Schools project works closely with a local chapter to teach students where their food comes from, who grows it, how to prepare it, and the importance of sharing it with friends and family. Slow Food in Schools projects are designed to address the specific needs of the communities they serve. Using good, clean, and fair food as the guide, project leaders develop creative, fun, hands-on lessons.
Examples of some Slow Food in Schools project initiatives include:
• A mobile healthy food cooking cart.
• After-school farmer’s markets.
• Farmer visits to the classroom.
• Parent and child cooking classes.
• Tracing foods from seed to plate by growing, harvesting, preparing and eating.
