WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO LEAD A PGA HOPE LOCATION
PGA HOPE( Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is the flagship military program of the PGA of America REACH Foundation, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America. PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans and Active Duty Military to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. First step to getting involved with PGA HOPE is to attend a PGA HOPE Certification Training. This is a half day session that covers military culture and different situations you may come across while teaching Veterans and Active Duty Military( PTSD, Limb-Loss, Deafness, Blindness, Service Animals). This training session is free to all Active PGA Members and Associates and LPGA Members.
