GCSAA’s First Green program is a science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) environmental outreach program that uses the golf course as a living laboratory. K-12 students participate in hands-on, outdoor learning stations that include lessons on wildlife habitat, soil science, environmental sustainability, mathematics, water conservation, water quality, career exploration and much more.
First Green is a program of the GCSAA Foundation, the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA).
Golf course superintendents interested in hosting a field trip should read below about how to become First Green ready.
If you are a teacher or club leader and want to expand your STEAM curriculum with one of our field trips, we are here to help.
First Green encourages parents to get involved, and welcomes your insight to further improve our workshops.
We need your support to achieve our goals. Contact us today if you would like to become a Friend of First Green.
