Young Professionals Council

The Young Professionals Council (YPC) is a network of active young professionals in the Upstate who are dedicated to advancing the mission of the First Tee — Upstate South Carolina through fundraising efforts, volunteering as coaches, and broadening awareness of the First Tee.

The YPC will host various events and golf outings throughout the year to provide networking opportunities for its members – the camaraderie that golf encourages, as well as a belief in the game’s values, ultimately define the drive behind the YPC.

Chairman – Joe Anderson, First Tee — Upstate South Carolina Board Member
