GREENLIGHT’S<br />

A Ryder Cup style tournament featuring <strong>GreenLight</strong>’s<br />

newest portfolio organization, Per Scholas<br />

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, <strong>2020</strong> // WESTON GOLF CLUB


GREENLIGHT’S<br />

Thank you for joining us in support of the <strong>GreenLight</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> and our 12th portfolio organization: Per Scholas!<br />

We know this year is different than most, and that is why we are especially<br />

grateful that you have joined us for a day of competition and fun. We hope<br />

you enjoy today’s activities featuring our 12th portfolio organization, Per<br />

Scholas! Per Scholas, a truly amazing organization, sees a 400% increase<br />

in salary for low-wealth residents by providing training and industryrecognized<br />

credentials in the IT sector. In their first four years, Per Scholas<br />

will reach close to 800 adults —and help move many more families out of<br />

poverty. In response to COVID-19, Per Scholas expanded its remote learning<br />

capabilities and training to support the global shift to increased remote<br />

work. By providing an innovative solution for employment and increased<br />

income for families, our hope is to change trajectories for adults and their<br />

families and meet the needs of our time.<br />

Per Scholas is an organization with the potential to bolster the recovery<br />

efforts after the dramatic impact of COVID-19, and, now more than ever, it<br />

is important to come together to support the work of organizations like<br />

theirs. None of this would be possible without people like you - friends,<br />

partners, and sponsors, both here in person and in spirit!<br />

As we work to rebuild as a city and as a nation, we need your help, not<br />

just to restore our community back to what it was, but to reimagine what<br />

our city could be. The past eight months have brought to light glaring<br />

injustices experienced by Black, Indigenous and communities of color<br />

across our country for generations. As we reckon with our past and<br />

present, we continue to work towards a future Boston that is healthy, just,<br />

and inclusive. This future will require new and innovative solutions just<br />

like Per Scholas as we continue to serve more than 100,000 Bostonians<br />

each year.<br />

Proceeds from today’s tournament will go to support <strong>GreenLight</strong> Boston’s<br />

work as we bring in innovative solutions like Per Scholas. We plan to<br />

remain innovative and flexible to the needs of the time, working with<br />

community leaders to identify organizations that can tear down barriers<br />

and open opportunities. And we will do this with our long-time supporters<br />

and champions — especially you!<br />

Safety guidelines for today’s tournament and instructions for accessing<br />

our virtual hole activities can be found in this booklet. We hope you<br />

have a safe, fun day, and enjoy learning more about what the future<br />

holds for <strong>GreenLight</strong> Boston and Per Scholas!<br />

Enjoy the day!<br />

Each foursome will have two representatives<br />

from the Green Team and two representatives<br />

from the White Team. Each team chooses its<br />

best drive and then each member of the team<br />

plays his or her own ball from the locations<br />

of the best drive of the team. One point will<br />

be awarded for the front nine, back nine and<br />

overall match winners. If it is halved (tied),<br />

then each team will receive half a point for<br />

that hole. Strokes will be adjusted based<br />

on handicaps, which are noted in the <strong>Golf</strong><br />

Genius app.<br />

GREENLIGHT FUND:<br />

INVESTING IN CHANGE<br />

The <strong>GreenLight</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> transforms the lives of children, youth and families in high-poverty urban areas through the <strong>GreenLight</strong> Method.<br />

• Identify critical unmet needs<br />

• Import innovative, entrepreneurial programs that can have a significant, measurable impact, and<br />

• Galvanize local support to help programs reach and sustain impact in the new city.<br />

We call our approach the <strong>GreenLight</strong> Method. The <strong>GreenLight</strong> Method is a five-part process that focuses our investments where they will make the most<br />

impact. It’s how we stay nimble enough to address pressing needs and seize opportunities as they arise.<br />

WE DISCOVER<br />

We assess the local landscape to discover<br />

opportunities for transformation: urgent<br />

issues that are currently not being directly<br />

addressed, and where smart, effective<br />

approaches would make a significant<br />

difference in the lives of low-income children<br />

and families.<br />

WE SCOUT<br />

We search the country for the most effective<br />

solutions: the nonprofits that are creating<br />

new ways to deliver services, connect with<br />

their clients and sustain their work.<br />

WE SELECT<br />

We look at hundreds of nonprofits each year.<br />

Through rigorous due diligence we select the<br />

nonprofit that is the best fit for the<br />

community—that meets identified needs<br />

with innovation and impact that can be<br />

successfully replicated.<br />

WE INVEST<br />

We invest our funds, time and passion. Our<br />

community connections and strategic<br />

advice help organizations ramp up and start<br />

producing direct, meaningful change in the<br />

community. We continue this support so that<br />

each organization can thrive over time.<br />

WE MEASURE<br />

We measure the growth and effectiveness of<br />

our investments and share that information<br />

with investors, partners and the local<br />

community<br />

ABOUT<br />

GREENLIGHT’S<br />

SELECTION!<br />

GREENLIGHT FUND: Meeting Community Needs with Proven Solutions<br />

STEP 1:<br />

DISCOVER<br />

MEET THE PER SCHOLAS LEADERSHIP TEAM<br />

The <strong>GreenLight</strong> Method, a five-part process, provides a focused approach to making<br />

investments where they will have the most impact. It’s how we stay nimble enough<br />

to address pressing needs and seize opportunities as they arise.<br />

We are an on-the-ground partner who deeply cares about our community. To ensure<br />

early and long-term success, the <strong>GreenLight</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> provides significant resources<br />

and strategic support during a portfolio organization’s first years in Boston. Each<br />

portfolio organization continues as part of the <strong>GreenLight</strong> Boston family thereafter.<br />

The latest addition is Per Scholas.<br />

Adults of all ages deserve well-paying jobs and careers. We are excited to welcome<br />

Per Scholas to the Greater Boston community.<br />

STEP 5:<br />

MEASURE<br />

STEP 2:<br />

SCOUT<br />

Robin Nadeau — Managing Director, Greater Boston<br />

Robin is a servant leader who creates opportunity, fosters social change, and grows collaboration. She has over<br />

20 years experience in workforce development, education, and community development — both domestically<br />

and internationally —having served communities in over twenty states, as well as in Ukraine and Poland. She is<br />

passionate about creating access and opportunity for people who face barriers to employment.<br />

Her work includes past positions of leadership at nonprofits, including School and Main Institute, Year Up, and Goodwill<br />

Industries International, leading program design, management, and organizational growth, as well as facilitating social<br />

change and partnership efforts at national, regional and local levels. She has experience facilitating and coaching leaders in<br />

education, nonprofits, and business, and growing long-term partnerships between the public and private sectors. The crux<br />

of Robin’s work has always been systems-building partnership efforts, skill building, collaborative leadership, and crosssector<br />

collaboration.<br />

PER SCHOLAS: Plans for Boston<br />

Under the leadership of the Per Scholas Greater Boston team, more than 800 adults<br />

will receive free training and preparation for a career in IT over the next four years.<br />

Founded in 1995 in the Bronx, Per Scholas was created to bridge the digital divide by reconditioning old computers and<br />

giving them away to schools and families in need. As part of this mission, they trained adults from the community<br />

to recondition computers. Holding on to talent from the community was difficult — they realized that residents,<br />

once completing Per Scholas training, were leaving for better paying jobs, taking with them the skills employers<br />

desperately needed. More than two decades later, Per Scholas has evolved to a national organization, opening doors<br />

to transformative technology careers for individuals from often overlooked communities in about a dozen cities. This<br />

year, Per Scholas enrolled its 10,000th student. 87% of graduates are people of color and 31% are women.<br />

Plinio Ayala — CEO and President<br />

Plinio became President and CEO of Per Scholas in November 2003 after having served as Vice President of Operations with<br />

oversight for the bulk of Per Scholas’ programs. Today he leads the organization in its national expansion. Plinio previously<br />

served as Director of <strong>Program</strong> Operations at SOBRO,<br />

and, before that, as Chief <strong>Program</strong> Officer at Jobs<br />

for Youth. In 2012, he joined a diverse group of<br />

stakeholders with decades of experience in New<br />

York City’s workforce system to develop a blueprint<br />

for the new Mayor, re-envisioning the New York City<br />

Workforce System. Plinio has more than 20 years of<br />

nonprofit management experience and is deeply<br />

committed to the fight against poverty. When not<br />

at Per Scholas, Plinio spends time with his three<br />

children and wife...and the New York Mets.<br />

WELCOME<br />

to the<br />

Weston<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> Club<br />

1<br />

PAR 4<br />

A Donald Ross Course<br />

Since 1894, The Weston <strong>Golf</strong> Club has earned its<br />

reputation for honoring the skill of the game of golf.<br />

The Par 72, 18-hole golf course was originally designed by<br />

Donald Ross and is the focal point of the club.<br />

Although the Club opened in 1894, the current location<br />

was built in 1916-1917. Donald Ross designed the original nine<br />

holes and the expanded par-71 layout, which opened in 1923.<br />

The two newest holes (11 and 12, designed by Geoffrey<br />

Cornish) were added in 1965. These replaced a very<br />

short par 3 and one par 4, and brought the course to<br />

its current par-72 layout. Improvements during<br />

the 1990’s included new tees on 16 and 17.<br />

1<br />

The first hole at Weston is a straight forward opening par 4<br />

that can be reached in two shots with a good drive. A player<br />

that avoids the bunkers to the left of the fairway and the<br />

heavy rough on the right will be rewarded. The green is well<br />

guarded by bunkers to the left and short right but Donald Ross<br />

has created lots of room to run up on longer shots.<br />

The second hold at Weston is a demanding 3-shot,<br />

straightaway par 5. A drive in the fairway allows the player<br />

to carefully navigate the layup area that is heavily bunkered.<br />

The third shot is played uphill to a tiered green,<br />

with a severe false front. Depending on the hole location,<br />

the approach shot can be difficult and putting as well<br />

if you are not on the proper level.<br />

2 3<br />

The third hole at Weston is a long, downhill par 3 has a<br />

classic look of a New England, Donald Ross golf hole.<br />

The green is surrounded by a collection area on the left<br />

side and is protected by a large bunker on the right.<br />

The green slopes from rear-left to front-right and it may<br />

be difficult for a player to control their speed.<br />

5PAR 3<br />

The fourth hole at Weston is a long par 4 that will test even<br />

the best of players. The landing zone is guarded by a very<br />

penalizing fairway bunker. A good drive down the left side will<br />

leave a short to mid iron into one of the most difficult putting<br />

surfaces at Weston. The green is guarded by bunkers both to<br />

the left and front right, with a narrow, steep collection area<br />

behind the green. There is a large mound in the middle of the<br />

putting surface that creates many interesting hole locations.<br />

4 5<br />

The fifth hole at Weston is the final hole in a stretch of long<br />

and demanding shots that a player faces to start their round.<br />

This is the most demanding tee shot of all the par 3’s here at<br />

Weston. The green is raised and heavily bunkered with<br />

a treacherous chipping area to the right of the green.<br />

Birdies are rare, and pars are always a good score.<br />

6PAR 5<br />

7PAR 4<br />

The sixth hole at Weston is a classic risk/reward par 5.<br />

The player must decide if they want to be aggressive and take<br />

their drive over the mound, left of the landing zone.<br />

Players may also play short of the mound or to the right.<br />

Although it’s a huge advantage, the tee short does not require<br />

a long drive, but rather a well-positioned drive. Reachable in<br />

two shots, this large green slopes from back to front with a<br />

steep false front that will challenge the player with multiple<br />

shot varieties and a difficult putting surface.<br />

6<br />

7<br />

The seventh hole at Weston is the club’s signature hole.<br />

The hole lends itself to either a conservative or aggressive<br />

tee shot. An aggressive play off the tee allows for a short iron<br />

or wedge into a green that slopes back to front, favoring the<br />

player. This is a great birdie opportunity with a good tee shot<br />

in the fairway. The green is severely sloped from back left to<br />

front right which places a premium on your approach shot.<br />

8PAR 4<br />

9PAR 4<br />

The eighth hole at Weston is a classic short par 4 with<br />

a narrow fairway. Trees and a rocky landscape on the right<br />

side challenge the player to hit a precise tee shot.<br />

Then the player is faced with a short iron or wedge approach<br />

to a perched, narrow, and two-tiered green that is very<br />

difficult to putt if the approach is not placed properly.<br />

8 9<br />

The ninth hole at Weston is a very demanding finish to<br />

the front 9. The player faces a downhill tee shot to a narrow,<br />

sloping fairway into a prevailing wind. The green is receptive<br />

to approach shots due to its severe slope from rear left<br />

to front right, but is very treacherous to putt.<br />

PAR 3<br />

11<br />

PAR 4<br />

The tenth hole at Weston is a beautiful mid-range par 3,<br />

with par always being a good score. While it requires a<br />

modest 165 yard shot, balls that aren’t hit to the putting<br />

surface are very difficult to get up and down. The green<br />

is raised and falls off on all sides with deep bunkers<br />

guarding the front left and front right. The putting surface<br />

is heavily contoured and difficult to read.<br />

10<br />

11<br />

The eleventh hole at Weston has water to the right of the<br />

fairway that also needs to be carried on a player’s approach<br />

shot to the green. A good drive off the tee to the left or<br />

short off the pond is faced with a long approach. This long<br />

and gradually sloping green is guarded on both sides<br />

by bunkers and is the number 2 handicap hole.<br />

13<br />

PAR 4<br />

The twelfth hole at Weston is a great birdie opportunity<br />

that is sandwiched between two difficult par 4’s. Players have<br />

the option between hitting a short or a longer and aggressive<br />

tee shot. The approach shot is played over a pond to a large<br />

green with a severe false front and bunkers on either side.<br />

12<br />

The thirteenth hole at Weston is a bunkerless, dog leg left<br />

par 4 that is one of the most difficult holes on the course.<br />

The blind fairway bends to the left between the trees that<br />

requires a long drive to reach the green in two shots.<br />

The approach shot is placed to a raised green that has<br />

two tiers and many subtle breaks which can make it one<br />

of the most difficult putting surfaces on the course.<br />

PAR 4<br />

The fourteenth hole at Weston is a beautiful par 5 that<br />

is reachable in two for long hitters. There is plenty of room<br />

to drive the ball, but a drive that is hit left or right will have<br />

a difficult time navigating the bunkers of the layup area.<br />

The approach shot is played to a punchbowl style green<br />

that is surrounded by bunkers and collection areas.<br />

14 15<br />

The fifteenth hole at Weston is a heavily bunkered, mid-range<br />

par 4 with out of bounds to the left over the stone wall.<br />

The player has the option to hit a fairway wood or hybrid<br />

off the tee to avoid these obstacles. The approach shot is<br />

played to a raised green that is severely sloped from rear<br />

left to front right with a false front. It is paramount that<br />

players stay below the hole on their approach shot.<br />

PAR 3<br />

The sixteenth hole at Weston is a great par 4 with<br />

our signature logo tree just to the right of the player’s landing<br />

zone. The player must avoid a serious of deep, penalizing<br />

bunkers just to the left of the fairway. The approach shot<br />

is played to a very small, classic Donald Ross turtleneck<br />

green. This green is difficult to hold from anywhere other<br />

than the fairway. The green slopes from back to front<br />

and is very difficult to putt.<br />

16<br />

17<br />

The seventeenth hole at Weston is a downhill par 3<br />

that is guarded by bunkers in the front left<br />

and right with a collection area to the rear left<br />

and directly behind the green.<br />

A tee shot to the center of this green<br />

will give a player a great<br />

opportunity at birdie.<br />

PAR 5<br />

The eighteenth hole at Weston is a reachable par 5<br />

with a penalizing cross bunker that guards the right side<br />

of the green. The green is two tiered from back to front<br />

that has a noticeable spine that runs down the midsection,<br />

separating the left and right side of the green.<br />
