Become a Game Changing Volunteer
Volunteer Golf Coaches
We are looking for volunteer golf coaches to assist with on-course Core Golf & Life Skills classes! Positive mentors and role models are vital to our mission. You don’t have to be a golf pro (or even a good golfer) to get involved. Our coaching philosophy is this… “Young people don’t care what a coach knows until they know a coach cares.” If you bring a passion for helping Charleston Area young people, we can provide everything else you will need to succeed.
Here’s how it works:
- Complete our volunteer form
- Our Program Director will reach out with instructions for completing a background check and SafeSport training. Please read our Youth Safety Policy to learn more about how we protect our program participants and the volunteers who work with them.
- You will receive a list of classes each season (spring, summer, and fall) so that you can choose times and locations that work for you.
- Classes are hosted once a week for an 8 weeks. We ask that you attend 6 of the 8 classes to build a rapport with participants.
- Your lead coach will provide everything for the lesson. All you need to do is help and have fun!
Volunteer coaches play a vital role in our mission. With that in mind, we host two complimentary appreciation events each year:
- Coach happy hour
- Coach playday at one of the Lowcountry’s most exclusive courses
Make an Impact off the Course
We rely on volunteers to accomplish all kinds of initiatives that keep our youth development programs going and not all of those involve golf. Off-course volunteer opportunities include:
- Fundraising/Events
- Operations/Administration
- Mentoring/Tutoring
- In-school programming
- Van drivers
Get Started
Complete the following form to get started. Our Program Director, Meghan Taylor, will be in touch with volunteer opportunities that may be of interest to you, and she will provide links for your background check and SafeSport training.
NOTE: Active participants in First Tee programs are encouraged to volunteer. The minimum age for volunteers is 16 years old (and 13 years old for active First Tee participants).
