About Us
“In golf as in life, it is the follow-through that makes the difference.”
Our Mission
Journey Through 18 is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization on a mission to provide girls in the Houston community access to golf, along with a supportive community where they can learn, grow, and thrive.
Our Vision
Journey Through 18 envisions itself as a community for minority girls, bringing them together to learn, play golf, and find inspiration and empowerment. The organization aims to support girls in their development during adolescence as they navigate their journey through 18 holes and to the age of 18.
How We Do This
The organization achieves its goals by providing year-round golf instructional programming, mentoring opportunities, and social activities specifically tailored for girls in the Houston area. Utilizing the LPGA/USGA Girls Golf program, Journey Through 18 offers golf instruction and on-course experience. As girls progress in their golf skills, the focus shifts towards tournament preparation.
Back Story
Journey Through 18 was established to foster confidence, self-pride, and access to the game of golf for girls. By leveraging the unique qualities of golf, the organization aims to strengthen core skills applicable to various aspects of a girl's life. The organization's tax-exempt status reflects its commitment to serving the community and empowering the next generation of girls.
