I am not golf savvy, but I want to help. Are there opportunities for me to get involved?
First Tee – Prairies needs more than coaches to make the program possible. First Tee relies on volunteers, sometimes year-round, to accomplish the program mission, and not all of those goals involve golf; support off the course is needed as well. Opportunities include:
- Fundraising/Events
- Operations/Administration
- Mentoring/Tutoring
- In-school Programming
By contributing their time and talent, individuals can directly make an impact in a young person’s life. To learn more about First Tee – Prairies volunteer opportunities near you, click here.
