Become a Volunteer and Make a Difference
The First Tee, as an outstanding youth development organization, is always searching for good people that want to volunteer at one of our many Pittsburgh area locations.
We're Looking for You!
Nationwide, we currently have more than 3,700 coaches signed up with The First Tee as well as volunteers. But you don't have to be a golf professional or even a good golfer. With The First Tee Coach Program, we provide the training you need.
Developed with input from leading experts in the field of positive youth development, our program focuses on making participants stronger and more confident through decision-making and exploring options, inspiring the golfers of tomorrow to look to the future, set goals, and unlock their potential.
We also need more volunteers to make The First Tee possible. Opportunities include:
Assistant Coach: assist in our weekly golf clinics. All that we request is that you make a 7-week commitment (one day per week), for 2 hours each week. Each clinic is led by one of our trained staff members who creates a written lesson plan for our volunteers to follow.
Database Manager: input data entry of participants, volunteers, and community relation records and update chapter information for Home Office and community relations. The database manager is expected to update the data a minimum of every other week.
Equipment Manager: organize and sort donated equipment, get rid of unfit equipment, and arrange equipment for distribution to participants at least once a week.
Greeter: register participants, hand information to parents, greet visitors, answer phone calls and provide general program information.

As a young man, Al was a skilled artist. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some ______ intestinal(肠内的) disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the boy ______ suddenly that night.

To make matters worse, his wife ______ him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son.

____ the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he ______-his home, his land, his art objects, everything. ______ Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.
When I heard of Al's death, I thought that Al's life was a complete _______.
As time went by, I began to re-evaluate (重新评价) my earlier judgment. I knew Al's now ______ son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I ______ Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.
I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his ______. One day I worked up my ______ to ask him. "I'm really ______ by something," I said. "I know your father was ______ the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do to make you become such a special person?"
Ernie sat quietly and ______ for a few moments. Then he said, "From my earliest ______ as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, 'I love you, son.'"
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to ______ Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.
