Building Connection and Elevating Access through Benefits, Opportunities and Events

(Monterey, Calif.) — Youth on Course, the nonprofit organization dedicated to providing youth with access to life-changing opportunities through golf, announces the launch of its Alumni Network. The new initiative will unite over 75,000 young adults nationwide who share a connection with the game of golf. For $20/year, former Youth on Course members 19 and older are invited to join a unique community that builds meaningful connections, supports personal growth, and provides opportunities through social networking events and exclusive benefits that will complement any lifestyle.

“As Youth on Course continues its exponential growth, approximately 2,000 young adults become eligible to join the Alumni Network monthly” says Adam Heieck, CEO of Youth on Course. “This provides us the opportunity to extend access to benefits and resources that will impact their lives beyond the course.” 

Youth on Course already has a group of highly engaged alumni members who are excited to join the network. "I am thrilled that we are able to provide our members opportunities to continue their journey with Youth on Course, but now as alumni” says Moe Melhart, Director of Alumni Relations. “I believe we have created an incredible product that will support our alumni as they navigate life as students, young professionals and adulthood."

Exclusive Benefits and Opportunities:
Alumni gain access to exclusive benefits and opportunities valued at over $500 through the Youth on Course mobile app. From complimentary subscriptions to NBC's GolfPass+ and Peacock streaming, to discounts on renowned golf brands like TaylorMade Golf and LinkSoul,  and exclusive app access to ParPoints, the Alumni Network offers an array of perks.

Empowering Careers and Mental Wellness:
The network aims to empower its members in both their professional and personal journeys. As part of the mobile app features, Alumni have the ability to access a direct integration with Make Golf Your Career, curated LinkedIn and Indeed job lists, and mental health resources. These benefits will take alumni beyond the discounts, setting them up for a successful future.

Networking Beyond Expectations:
To build connections, the Alumni Network is slated to host several unparalleled social and networking events across the United States. The in-person events will provide a space where young adults can enjoy a relaxed social atmosphere and connect with other students and young professionals who share a passion for personal growth.

Sign up for Elevated Access:
Registration for the Youth on Course Alumni Network is now open to former Youth on Course members 19 and older. For $20/year, eligible members can elevate their access to exclusive benefits, opportunities and networking events by joining a community that celebrates growth, enables connections, and empowers them to navigate the next phase of life with confidence and support.
