The Foundation works with individuals from around the state who are called Site Coordinators. Each organization that adopts a Kids Golf Foundation program has a local Site Coordinator that has been identified.
Who Are Site Coordinators?
The backgrounds of Site Coordinators vary and many are considered “non-golfers.” Site Coordinators demonstrate leadership ability, a love of children, genuine interest in their community, and understand the value junior golf programs and events can provide. Site Coordinators can be:
- Recreation Professionals
- Youth Administrators
- Physical Education Teachers
- Golf Professionals
- Golf Enthusiasts
What Are the Responsibilities of a Site Coordinator?
Site Coordinators perform the key role in making junior golf programs work locally and are the main contact for the program site. Responsibilities include:
- Organizing, planning, and implementing the program
- Staying in contact with the Foundation and program staff
- Securing a golf course or facility
- Applying for grants
- Identifying and recruiting participants
- Recruiting volunteers
- Highlighting life lessons
- Nominating children for special events and activities
