The Challenge

The opportunity gap is one of the widest-reaching issues in our society today. It is the way factors uncontrollable by an individual can contribute to lower rates of success in educational achievement, career prospects and other life aspirations.

Students from under-resourced communities are often left behind without access to quality education and opportunities for college and careers.

Our work is built on the vision of our founder, Tiger Woods, for a world where opportunity is universal and potential is limitless. We are committed to providing opportunities for students through education. But there is more work to do.

Closing the Gap

We are expanding and enhancing our programming to provide students with the resources and support needed to discover their interests, enhance their knowledge and gain transferable skills that align with their career interests.

As we look to a rapidly changing world and economy, we are working to provide our students with a plan for post-secondary success through;

• STEM education at the TGR Learning Lab
• College access resources
• Career readiness programming
• Activity-based professional experiences
