Be a Game Changer. Become a Coach.

Coaches and volunteers needed – all experience levels are welcome

At First Tee – Athens, we help kids discover what’s inside of them, guide them to strengthen it and mentor them to put it into action in everything they do.  To do this, we need enthusiastic and caring individuals to serve as positive mentors and role models to kids and teens of various backgrounds. Our coaches’ ability to develop impactful relationships with our participants is the backbone of our program.  

You don’t have to be a golf pro (or even a good golfer), we will provide the training you need! Our training system is built on research-proven methods of positive youth development, providing coaches with the tools to make kids feel safe, included and empowered. 

Our chapters rely on volunteers — sometimes year-round — to accomplish our mission, and not all of those goals involve golf. Most chapters need support off the course as well.
