Shaping the future

through the game of golf

Connecting Junior Golfers with High School Caddies

Caddies For Kids is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that provides youth development and mentorship for kids and teens through the game of golf.


Our program provides junior golfers and their families with access to exceptional high school caddies that lead by example, provide mentorship, and help promote positive life lessons. In turn, we create an opportunity for our caddies to develop leadership skills as they become role models for the youth through the game they love.

"Caddies For Kids is a gamechanger for junior golf. Having a mentor and advancing the game at a young age is so important...the benefit for everyone involved is truly amazing."

"Caddies For Kids is a truly innovative idea that I endorse. It allows kids to learn from High School golfers and will allow parents the freedom to observe their golfing child from a distance. And it is creating an opportunity for the parent to leave their child in the care of a recommended, vetted older golfer."

“‘I have always loved working with and supporting junior golfers. I recommend Caddies For Kids to any family out there looking for an alternative way for your child to learn and grow on the course.”

"The evolution of Caddies For Kids will be fun to watch. Junior golfers in the program now may eventually want to become a caddie in the program in just few years when they get to high school. Having this cycle of youth mentorship is a win for the game."
