GreenLight Fund | BOSTON — 2021 Golf Program

September 13, 2021//Weston Golf Club 

A Ryder Cup style tournament 

to support GreenLight’s newest 

portfolio organization

Thank you for joining us in support of the 

GreenLight Fund and our 13th portfolio organization: 

We are so excited to welcome you back to Weston Golf Club and 

GreenLight’s Golf for Good 2021! 

We are incredibly proud to welcome Working on Womanhood 

(WOW), our 13th portfolio organization, to Boston! WOW, a part 

of the Youth Guidance program alongside Becoming A Man (BAM), 

is a multifaceted, school year-long group counseling and clinical 

mentoring program. WOW works to improve social-emotional 

competencies for girls in 6th-12th grades exposed to traumatic 

stressors in high-risk and under-resourced communities. Launched 

in 2011, the school-based program runs throughout the academic 

year and serves over 2,000 students in 46 schools in Chicago and 

Kansas City as of the 2020–2021 school year. 

WOW is a program for the girls and young women of Boston and 

will fulfill a need that has been present in our city for a long time. 

This selection cycle looked different than any one that has come 

before. As we navigated much of the diligence process via Zoom, 

the incredible impact WOW has on its participants, alumnae, and staff 

transcended through the virtual space. We heard the inspiring stories of 

girls who found a group of friends, a supportive mentor, a place to turn in 

tough times, and much more by joining WOW. As we spoke to them, we 

saw how they wholeheartedly exemplified the WOW core values. The 

socioemotional support WOW provides was evident as participants and 

alumnae spoke about their life experiences. WOW’s focus on leadership 

was clear as we heard the young women’s experiences in school. WOW’s 

Visionary Goal Setting came through as the girls each shared where 

they were on the path to achieving their dreams for the future. WOW 

supported the young women in developing these skills and helped them 

realize their full potential. 

Now, more than ever, we need programs like WOW to help our girls and 

young women develop and refine socioemotional skills while receiving 

additional support services within the school day. As we work to rebuild 

and repair not only our city but our community and our relationships to 

become a stronger, more equitable place, our focus turns to the young 

people of our city — especially the young girls of color who uniquely 

experience the intersection of gender and racial inequities. We have an 

opportunity to create a community of caring around today’s youth and 

help them build the strength and resiliency to create a better future for 

us all. 

We hope you will join us in supporting WOW, and the entire Youth 

Guidance family in Boston, Chicago and beyond, as they continue to grow 

and serve the young people of our city. Proceeds from today’s tournament 

will go to support GreenLight Boston’s work as we bring more innovative 

solutions, like WOW, to our city. We plan to remain innovative and 

flexible to the needs of the time, working with the community to identify 

organizations that can tear down barriers and open opportunities. And we 

will do this with our long-time supporters and champions — especially you! 

ENJOY THE DAY!

The GreenLight Fund transforms the lives of children, youth and families in high-poverty 

urban areas through the GreenLight Method. 

• Identify critical unmet needs 

• Import innovative, entrepreneurial programs that can have a significant, measurable impact, and 

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

We call our approach the GreenLight Method. The GreenLight Method is a five-part process that focuses our investments where 

they will make the most impact. It’s how we stay nimble enough to address pressing needs and seize opportunities as they arise. 

WE DISCOVER 

We assess the local landscape to discover 

opportunities for transformation: urgent 

issues that are currently not being directly 

addressed, and where smart, effective 

approaches would make a significant 

difference in the lives of low-income children 

and families. 

WE SCOUT 

We search the country for the most 

effective solutions: the nonprofits that 

are creating new ways to deliver services, 

connect with their clients and sustain their 

work. 

WE SELECT 

We look at hundreds of nonprofits each 

year. Through rigorous due diligence we 

select the nonprofit that is the best fit for 

the community—that meets identified needs 

with innovation and impact that can be 

successfully replicated. 

WE INVEST 

We invest our funds, time and passion. 

Our community connections and strategic 

advice help organizations ramp up and start 

producing direct, meaningful change in the 

community. We continue this support so 

that each organization can thrive over time. 

WE MEASURE 

We measure the growth and effectiveness of 

our investments and share that information 

with investors, partners and the local 

community

About 

WOW Working On WomanhoodSM 

WOW 

A flagship initiative of Youth Guidance, Working On Womanhood (WOW) is an in-school, groupbased 

counseling and clinical mentoring program that cultivates leadership, promotes mental 

health, and fosters the social-emotional skills of girls and young women in grades 6 -12. To do so, 

WOW applies a therapy-based approach that addresses gender-specific needs by increasing selfimage 

and self-worth for female-identifying students. WOW strengthens critical protective factors 

and reduces high-risk behaviors among girls by helping them to cope with negative thoughts, 

interrogate their automatic responses, respond reflectively in high-stakes situations, solve problems, and build self-efficacy to make 

positive and healthy decisions, and ultimately, be leaders in their schools and their communities. In recognition of WOW’s efforts 

supporting the social and emotional wellbeing of girls and young women of color, WOW (with BAM) was awarded the 2020 Advancing 

Minority Health Award by the American Psychiatric Association. 

WOW’s dynamic curriculum is designed around five Core Values — 

each serving as a building block in reducing girls’ risk and promoting 

positive social, academic, and health outcomes. 

1. Self-Awareness – I have power. I know who I am. I accept who I am. 

I inspire others to become who they want to be. 

2. Emotional Intelligence – I am resilient. I recognize and use all of 

my emotions. I respond in healthy ways to other’s emotions. 

3. Healthy Relationships – I respect myself and others. I maintain 

healthy boundaries in my relationships. I communicate my needs 

and wants. I advocate for myself. 

4. Leadership – I am a leader. I set goals. I am accountable. 

I seek mentors to show me the way. I take a role in improving 

my community. 

5. Visionary Goal Setting – I have goals. I am motivated. 

I overcome barriers. I work on my goals every day. 

WOW’s Impact 

Since WOW’s launch in 2011 in Chicago, its impact on young women, in 

particularly young women of color, has been profound. To date, the program 

has served nearly 3,000 young women, equipping them with the skills to 

overcome barriers (personal and societal) and to become leaders. 

62% of WOW participants experienced fewer PTSD symptoms* 

71% of WOW participants experienced fewer depression symptoms* 

96% of WOW participants reported that the program has helped 

them make better decisions for themselves. 

*Of those starting in the clinical range 

Plans for Boston 

Under the leadership of Executive Director, Shawn Brown, WOW will launch in 

three Boston Public Schools, directly serving 150 young women in Year One. 

WOW will expand to nine schools by the fourth year of implementation to 

serve 450 young women. As with the BAM program, it is the aim of WOW to 

expand within BPS as well as neighboring school districts — Cambridge Public 

Schools and Somerville Public Schools — and ultimately across the state. 

Shawn Brown joined Youth Guidance in 2017, taking on 

the role Executive Director and leading the expansion of 

the Becoming A Man (BAM) program to Boston. Under 

his leadership, BAM Boston has grown from serving three 

Boston public schools and 150 young men to now providing 

direct services to nearly 600 young men across 11 schools 

and three school districts — Boston, Cambridge, and 

Somerville. With the expansion of WOW, Shawn—working 

closely with the WOW Training Academy and Boston Advisory Council— 

will lead both programs, safeguarding the fidelity of service delivery and 

leveraging partnerships to ensure WOW and BAM scholars, alike, have 

access to opportunities that will support their personal, academic, and 

professional goals. 

Prior to Youth Guidance, Shawn served as Executive Director of Diamond 

Educators Mentoring—an organization he founded and is dedicated to 

improving the academic performance of low-income and high-risk youth. 

Shawn has a passion for mentoring and more than 20 years of experience 

in the field of youth development and nonprofit leadership in Boston. His 

expertise and contributions to the field of youth development have landed 

him on national panels—hosted by My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, the Hunt 

Institute, and NAACP Boston—to explore issues such as race, education, and 

equity as they relate to young people. Shawn received a BA in Sociology 

from Merrimack College and holds a Nonprofit Management and Leadership 

Certificate from Boston University’s School of Management. 

Ngozi Harris joined Youth Guidance in 2011 and has been 

instrumental in the development, success, and expansion 

of the Working On Woman (WOW) program over the past 

decade. Ngozi is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor 

(LCPC) and currently serves as WOW Director of Staff and 

Program Development. In this role, she oversees program 

implementation and staff training, ensuring fidelity in 

the delivery of the WOW program in Chicago, Boston, 

Kansas City, and Dallas. Prior to this, Ngozi held the positions of WOW 

Senior Curriculum Specialist, WOW Supervisor, as well as WOW Counselor, 

through which she provided group counseling, mentoring, and other direct, 

psychosocial supports to hundreds of girls and young women on the South 

and West sides of Chicago. 

Her experience prior to joining Youth Guidance and the WOW program 

include providing therapy for trauma-afflicted children and adolescents, 

Department of Children and Family Services case coordination, case 

management for families in crisis, and working with the Illinois Department 

of Corrections and faith-based communities. Ngozi received an MA in 

Clinical Professional Psychology from Roosevelt University and her BA in 

Public Policy from the University of Chicago.

WESTON 

GOLF CLUB 

A Donald Ross Course 

1PAR 4 

Since 1894, The Weston Golf Club has earned its 

reputation for honoring the skill of the game of golf. 

The Par 72, 18-hole golf course was originally designed by 

Donald Ross and is the focal point of the club. Although the 

Club opened in 1894, the current location was built in 

1916-1917. Donald Ross designed the original nine holes 

and the expanded par-71 layout, which opened in 1923. 

The two newest holes (11 and 12, designed by 

Geoffrey Cornish) were added in 1965. These replaced 

a very short par 3 and one par 4, and brought the course 

to its current par-72 layout. Improvements during 

the 1990’s included new tees on 16 and 17. 

1 

The first hole at Weston is a straight forward 

opening par 4 that can be reached in two 

shots with a good drive. 

A player that avoids the bunkers to the left of 

the fairway and the heavy rough on the right 

will be rewarded. 

The green is well guarded by bunkers 

to the left and short right but 

Donald Ross has created lots of 

room to run up on longer shots.

The second hole at Weston is a 

demanding 3-shot, straightaway par 5. 

A drive in the fairway allows the player to 

carefully navigate the layup area that is 

heavily bunkered. 

The third shot is played uphill to a tiered 

green, with a severe false front. 

Depending on the hole location, the 

approach shot can be difficult and putting 

as well if you are not on the proper level.

The third hole at Weston is a long, 

downhill par 3 has a classic look of a 

New England, Donald Ross golf hole. 

The green is surrounded by a collection 

area on the left side and is protected 

by a large bunker on the right. 

The green slopes from rear-left to 

front-right and it may be difficult 

for a player to control their speed.

The fourth hole at Weston is a long par 4 

that will test even the best of players. 

The landing zone is guarded by a very 

penalizing fairway bunker. 

A good drive down the left side will leave 

a short to mid iron into one of the most 

difficult putting surfaces at Weston. 

The green is guarded by bunkers both 

to the left and front right, with a narrow, 

steep collection area behind the green. 

There is a large mound in the middle of 

the putting surface that creates many 

interesting hole locations.

The fifth hole at Weston 

is the final hole in a stretch of long 

and demanding shots that a player faces 

to start their round. 

This is the most demanding tee shot of 

all the par 3’s here at Weston. 

The green is raised and heavily bunkered 

with a treacherous chipping area to the 

right of the green. Birdies are rare, and 

pars are always a good score.

mound or to the right. 

Although it’s a huge advantage, the tee 

shot does not require a long drive, but 

rather a well-positioned drive. 

Reachable in two shots, this large green 

slopes from back to front with a steep 

false front that will challenge the player 

with multiple shot varieties and a difficult 

putting surface.

The seventh hole at Weston 

is the club’s signature hole. 

The hole lends itself to either a 

conservative or aggressive tee shot. 

An aggressive play off the tee allows 

for a short iron or wedge into 

a green that slopes back to front, 

favoring the player. 

This is a great birdie opportunity with a 

good tee shot in the fairway. 

The green is severely sloped from 

back left to front right which places a 

premium on your approach shot.

The eighth hole at Weston is a classic 

short par 4 with a narrow fairway. 

Trees and a rocky landscape on the 

right side challenge the player 

to hit a precise tee shot. 

Then the player is faced with a short iron 

or wedge approach to a perched, 

narrow, and two-tiered green that is 

very difficult to putt if the approach 

is not placed properly.

The ninth hole at Weston is a very 

demanding finish to the front 9. 

The player faces a downhill tee shot 

to a narrow, sloping fairway into a 

prevailing wind. 

The green is receptive to approach shots 

due to its severe slope from 

rear left to front right, but is 

very treacherous to putt.

PAR 5 

The tenth hole at Weston 

is a beautiful mid-range par 3, 

with par always being a good score. 

The eleventh hole at Weston has 

water to the right of the fairway that 

also needs to be carried on a player’s 

approach shot to the green. 

While it requires a modest 165 yard shot, 

balls that aren’t hit to the putting surface 

are very difficult to get up and down. 

The green is raised and falls off 

on all sides with deep bunkers 

guarding the front left and front right.

11 

A good drive off the tee to the left or 

short off the pond is faced with a long 

approach. This long and gradually 

sloping green is guarded on both sides 

by bunkers and is the number 

2 handicap hole. 

The putting surface is heavily 

contoured and difficult to read.

The twelfth hole at Weston is a great 

birdie opportunity that is sandwiched 

between two difficult par 4’s. 

Players have the option between 

hitting a short or a longer 

and aggressive tee shot. 

The approach shot is played over 

a pond to a large green with a severe 

false front and bunkers on either side. 

12 

The thirteenth hole at Weston is a 

bunkerless, dog leg left par 4 that is one 

of the most difficult holes on the course. 

The blind fairway bends to the left 

between the trees that requires a long 

drive to reach the green in two shots. 

The approach shot is placed 

to a raised green that has two tiers 

and many subtle breaks which can 

make it one of the most difficult putting 

surfaces on the course.

The fourteenth hole at Weston 

is a beautiful par 5 that is 

reachable in two for long hitters. 

There is plenty of room to drive the ball, 

but a drive that is hit left or right 

will have a difficult time navigating 

the bunkers of the layup area. 

The approach shot is played to a 

punchbowl style green that is surrounded 

by bunkers and collection areas. 

14 

15 

The fifteenth hole at Weston is 

a heavily bunkered, mid-range par 5 

with out of bounds to the 

left over the stone wall. 

The player has the option to hit 

a fairway wood or hybrid 

off the tee to avoid these obstacles. 

The approach shot is played to a raised 

green that is severely sloped from rear 

left to front right with a false front. 

It is paramount that players stay below 

the hole on their approach shot.

The sixteenth hole at Weston is a great 

par 4 with our signature logo tree just to 

the right of the player’s landing zone. 

The player must avoid a series 

of deep, penalizing bunkers just 

to the left of the fairway. 

The approach shot is played to a very 

small, classic Donald Ross turtleneck 

green. This green is difficult to hold from 

anywhere other than the fairway. 

The green slopes from back to front 

and is very difficult to putt.

The seventeenth hole at Weston is 

a downhill par 3 that is guarded by 

bunkers in the front left and right 

with a collection area to the 

rear left and directly behind the green. 

A tee shot to the center of this green 

will give a player a great 

opportunity at birdie.
