Become a Coach or Volunteer and Make a Difference
Our Philosophy
Without caring mentors, positive youth development just doesn’t happen. At The First Tee, we take coaching seriously. We believe that a meaningful, quality relationship between coach and participant is vital to our program. “Young people don’t care what a coach knows until they know a coach cares.”We’re Looking for You!
Nationwide, we currently have more than 3,700 coaches signed up with The First Tee, including PGA and LPGA pros, as well as volunteers. But you don’t have to be a golf pro or even a good golfer. With The First Tee Coach Program, we provide the training you need. Developed with input from leading experts in the field of positive youth development, our program focuses on empowering participants through decision-making and exploring options. This helps foster positive relationships between coaches and young people, inspiring the golfers of tomorrow to look to the future, set goals, and unlock their potential.Make an Impact Off the Course
We need more than coaches to make The First Tee possible. We rely on volunteers — sometimes year round — to accomplish our mission, and not all of those goals involve golf; we need support off the course as well. Opportunities include:- Fundraising/Events
- Operations/Administration
- Mentoring/Tutoring
- In-school programming
Volunteers & Involvement
If you are interested in working with young people on a volunteer basis. We have different ways you can volunteer. You can be a coach, van driver, help as an office assistant or help at our maintenance. If you would like to to volunteer please print out or come by to fill out a background check form. Our volunteer background check forms cost us $10 so we ask all potential volunteers to donate $10 to help us pay for the background check. Each of our volunteer will receive perks for helping our young participants! Please review the perks of the volunteers!
