Making a Difference
The National Junior Golf Academy (NJGA) is a registered non-profit volunteer driven organization designed to break down economic barriers and use the rules governing the sport of golf to teach our youth life-skills: honesty, integrity, punctuality, decorum, respect for self and others and to address delinquency. NJGA works closely with area families, social workers, agencies and community centres in order to target and reach youth from economically challenged, high-risk areas in and around the Greater Toronto Area. |
