The Need
The community we’re targeting in Oceanside is similar to, but different from, the population we serve in City Heights. Both have culturally diverse populations, including many recent immigrants. Many residents of both areas live below the poverty level. Some 68 percent of students enrolled in the schools in our Oceanside service area qualify for the federal free or reduced lunch program. Pro Kids will be free to students enrolled in that program as well as children of active duty military.
We want to increase the number of elementary and middle school children in Oceanside who have access to our holistic approach of educational programs, community service opportunities, and golf and life-skills classes.
Our facility is within three miles of ten elementary, two middle, and two high schools. Our golf and life-skills instruction will be available five days a week and Learning Center access available six days a week.
Our Program Goals
We plan to serve at least 400 children per year via the school partnership program and 500 after school and on weekends. We intend to maintain a membership retention rate of at least 40 percent. We also will create an LPGA-USGA Girls Golf program.
We will replicate our current school partnership at this facility. It provides golf and life-skills instruction during school, after school, and on Saturdays; additionally, we’ll provide educational opportunities such as computer access, tutoring, vocational field trips, and community service opportunities, and college scholarships.
Campaign Goal
One goal is to secure $4 million to fund the construction of the children’s golf and life-skills learning facility, the Ely Callaway Golf & Learning Center and ensure operations for five years.
