PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS
In collaboration with our community, we work to close opportunity gaps for students from under-resourced communities. Our programs provide students with the support and resources needed to discover their passions, deepen their knowledge and build transferable skills to prepare for personal excellence and professional success. Learn more on how you can join the movement and transform the lives of students.

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. For more than 25 years, we have been 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 by providing students with the resources and support needed to discover their passions, deepen their knowledge, and gain transferable skills to align with their career interests.
As we look to a rapidly changing world and economy, we are working to provide our students with pathways to connect their passions to their purpose through;
- Inspiring Learning Spaces at the TGR Learning Lab
