Coaching Opportunities

Coach. Mentor. Change lives.

We’re looking for passionate individuals at all experience levels to help shape the next generation through the game of golf.

At First Tee – Greater St. Louis, we help kids discover their personal strengths, then mentor them to become the best version of themselves. We need enthusiastic, caring people like YOU to make that happen, serving as positive role models as you guide them through the First Tee program.

You don’t have to be a golf pro. We provide all the training you need, built on research-proven methods of positive youth development that help kids feel safe, included, and empowered.
