Still Time to Donate

While the Fall Season for Girls Golf has been cancelled, our Junior Grants Program is still making huge contributions to girl’s golf in Northern California. We have awarded 58 grants totaling over $50,000. These funds will be distributed to teams in the Spring when golf resumes. Now we are looking forward to the next season and are asking for your help. Youth on Course has offered to match our donations up to $30,000 so please consider making a Tax-deductible donation to this very worthwhile program.

Her Own Words

“My love of and dedication to golf led me to leave a destructive life behind. I now have the courage to take on the
incredible opportunities I never dreamed were possible growing up through inner-city schools where nobody played golf.”

Josseline held a golf club for the first time in 2018. She credits that very moment as the catalyst which helped pull her away from unhealthy friendships which had left her distracted, unmotivated, and with slipping grades.

Her Youth on Course membership made golf affordable given her family’s limited financial means. She found friends, a support system, and quickly improved her game, eventually earning a spot on the McLane High School Girl’s Golf Team.

Josseline defied the odds and eventually was named Captain of the Golf Team and finished her Senior year with a 4.11 GPA. Her accomplishments earned her a YOC Scholarship and she will study Biology at The Master’s University this fall.
