This year, Arete Education (Arete) will be hosting an inaugural Golf Tournament to raise funds to support initiatives that enable us to serve our extraordinary young people from underserved communities in the Bronx, Harlem, and Brooklyn in New York. Through this tournament we hope to provide access and create open spaces for our young people.

The mission of Arete Education is to train and empower youth to lead successful lives, regardless of their home zip code. Each year we partner with local schools and community groups to get our students into colleges, gain employment, and develop healthy mindsets. Arete creates pathways for Black and Brown students to defy the odds, overcoming obstacles no child in the U.S. should endure. Our school partner, The Laboratory School of Finance and Technology, boasts a 100% high school graduation rate and sends students each year to Cornell, Boston University, and NYU among other selective colleges despite the reality that 95% of students live in poverty.

The Arete Golf Tournament, which opens doors to professionals and youth alike, will be played at Saint Andrews Golf Club in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, 10 am - 4pm. Saint Andrews is America’s oldest golf club and is a noted course for golf enthusiasts. We will start with a light brunch, followed by a shotgun start, and conclude with a cocktail reception and dinner where we will give out awards for the day’s best performances.
