Hi, my name is Maddie Lawler! I was born and raised in Minnesota and just recently made my way to the desert. I graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Cultural Anthropology. After college I did a service term with AmeriCorps, where I discovered my passion for non-profits. Since then, I have worked for various youth centered organizations. I have spent most of my life being a part of youth programming, from participating to mentoring and leading. Getting to see kids grow–not only in their sport–but also as individuals is incredibly rewarding. I am extremely excited to be a part of the First Tee – Phoenix team!
