The SwingPals Vision is a world where every child feels valued and respected, free to pursue their passion and fulfill their mission..
Our mission is to build a foundation of health and strong character in children facing adversity. SwingPals uses golf as a medium through which students develop mindfulness and self-regulation skills, empowering them to pursue their passion and fulfill their potential to create positive change in their community. This holistic approach empowers students to step outside their comfort zones, challenge their status quo, and give them the self-efficacy to pursue their goals.
We are currently seeking passionate volunteers to join our team as golf coaches for in-school and afterschool programming. As a SwingPals coach, you are a guide for the students from the process of THINKING to DOING while swinging the golf club, helping them let go of control, explore their potential, and enjoy their golf game. You will support students to develop their social and emotional skills and be able to focus their mind in the moment to make purposeful, intentional choices. Beginner golfers are welcome and often make the best coaches!
Becoming a volunteer coach with SwingPals is about mentorship, empowerment, and creating meaningful connections. Our program helps students develop confidence, resilience, and mindfulness through the game, and your role as a coach is essential to that journey.
If you're ready to contribute to a brighter future for our children and our community, we invite you to get involved. Your support and coaching will make a significant difference in the lives of our students.

Description
SwingPals is an urban youth golf program that supports children facing adversity whom often enter middle school with little or no hope of fulfilling their personal potential. SwingPals selects inner-city schools where the need is great for student and family leaders to cultivate, grow, and maintain an environment whereby students take personal responsibility for impacting their community for the benefit of others.
SwingPals offers each student:
- first-class golf coaching that empowers the child to step outside of their comfort zone and try something new,
- mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-awareness coaching,
- help to develop improved health and character, and
- tours of local universities and resources to assist with college access.
