Make A Difference – BECOME A COACH OR VOLUNTEER 

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Without caring mentors, positive youth development just doesn’t happen. At First Tee Greater Detroit, 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 the coach cares.”

As you consider volunteering for our chapter, know that the safety of our kids is our first priority.  Please read our Prevention Policies to see how we conduct programs and activities at our chapter

BECOME PART OF OUR TEAM

First Tee Greater Detroit coaches come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. To volunteer with our program you don’t have to be a golf pro or even a good golfer. The First Tee Coach Program provides the training you need and will put you in a position where your unique background can provide the greatest impact with the children.

make an impact off the course

We need more than coaches to make First Tee possible. Our chapter relies on a wide variety of volunteers to accomplish our mission, and not all of those goals involve golf. We frequently need support off of the course as well. These opportunities include:

  • Fundraising & Events
  • Operations & Administration
  • Mentoring & Tutoring
  • In-school program support

By contributing your time and talent, you can directly make an impact on a young person’s life.

LEARN MORE ABOUT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

To become a volunteer, you must complete a volunteer application and screening process, which includes a criminal background check. You will also receive training about your volunteer role, behavioral expectations, and child protection.
