Mission Statement
SwingPals' mission is to build a foundation of health and strong character in children facing adversity, empowering them to pursue their passions and fulfill their potential to create positive change in their community. COLLEGE - CHARACTER - HEALTH
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.
