About PGA REACH Michigan

PGA REACH Michigan is the 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization and philanthropic arm of the Michigan PGA Section, one of the 41 sections in the PGA of America. Our members from across the entire Michigan PGA Section, are committed to serving our communities and growing the game of golf through our three pillars- Youth, Military, and Inclusion.

PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is the flagship military program of PGA REACH, 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. The program introduces the game of golf through a developmental 6-8 week curriculum, led by PGA Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency. All programs are funded by PGA REACH and supplemented by PGA Section Foundations, so the cost of programming is free to all Veterans. For more information, visit PGAREACH.org, follow @PGAREACH on Twitter and find us on Facebook.

PGA Jr. League is the flagship youth pillar program of PGA REACH, with the goal of making the program accessible to all interested kids in the United States and around the world.

PGA WORKS is the flagship inclusion program of PGA REACH. The fellowship aspires to be the most valuable entry-level employment opportunity for individuals from diverse backgrounds to garner experience in all facets of the golf industry.
