Youth are encouraged to explore their interests and career aspirations in an inspiring and supportive environment at the Tiger Woods Learning Center. Achieving goals and reaching dreams is the focus of our nationwide character development program. The Foundation is giving youth the skills to lay their own groundwork for the future.
We can proudly say that more than 10 million young people have benefited from the Tiger Woods Foundation since its inception in 1996. Through programs and annual events, the Foundation continues to make a difference in the lives of youth around the world.
Our programs, initiatives and students continue to grow and exceed expectations every day. What started out with limited access throughout America, now reaches out to young people around the world. We’re proud to say this is just the beginning.
Just in case Jim was not familiar with the Tiger Woods Action Plan; here is another excerpt (there is even a phone number for ease of reference Jim):
Defining goals and achieving them while giving back to the community is what Tiger's Action Plan is all about. A character development program for youth 8-17, Tiger's Action Plan addresses three priorities: character education, volunteer service and career exploration.
The curriculum begins by helping kids identify their dreams and goals. By the fourth unit, they are asked to plan an Action Project that will benefit their community and throughout the remainder of the program will explore careers and reflect on their efforts. For the grand finale, participants complete their Action Project and give a formal presentation to their friends, family and community.
Once completed, participants are equipped with tools to help them continue setting and achieving their own personal goals, creating their own ladder to success. Since the program also encourages community service and volunteerism, young people are instilled with a desire to give back to their local communities and continue making a difference.
Teachers and group leaders can obtain a ready-to-go curriculum, and individuals can participate in the program by clicking on the link below or calling 1-866-916-GOAL.
What I think this all boils down to, is Jim wanting Tiger to be the stereotypical spokesperson to the problems facing inner city kids and neighborhoods, nothing wrong with that, but there are different approaches. So the next time Jim Brown wants to “beef” with Tiger, he should pick up the phone and call Tiger to discuss ideas, instead of trying to rule the social issues platform, looking from his “throne” like the model citizen that he is. In short and with due respect, Jim Brown “shut the hell up.”
