2025 was another banner year for our organization and if you are reading this page, you are a big reason why! Thank you so much for your ongoing generosity and support - here is a recap of what we were able to do with your help:

Golf in Schools continued in the Fall of 2025 with COJGA Coaches going into 3 elementary schools in the Redmond School District for 2 week units. With the rotating nature of Phys. Ed. class, each student (grades 3, 4 and 5) had at least 2 sessions of golf learning! We have 5 additional schools scheduled for the Spring and we are hoping to expand these exposure learning experiences into Madras, Prineville, Bend and La Pine!

We also aim to expand our learning opportunities this year with more coaches trained in Bend, La Pine, Prineville and Redmond! Be on the lookout for COJGA Camps and Clinics all over Central Oregon.

Since 1993, Central Oregon Junior Golf Association (COJGA) has offered young people the opportunity to compete in a sport that requires focus, perseverance, honesty, integrity and sportsmanship — shaping life skills that last a lifetime.

Our motto - Grow With Golf – has become the foundation for this worthwhile cause. By engaging in our golf programs, children develop maturity, self-confidence, and respect for others.

Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers and community support, COJGA is poised to take a significant leap forward. We are expanding our offerings and implementing a more comprehensive developmental roadmap. The Grow with Golf curriculum will take our youngest players on a journey of mastery through developmental programs such as Discover Golf and GIRLS GOLF, then on to organized team play through PGA Jr. League, and culminating into our renowned COJGA Tour Series. In addition, we are adding mentoring and intern programs to engage teens and past participants.

Your donations will empower us to:

Offer scholarships to subsidize program/event registration fees, travel costs and purchase equipment, making golf accessible to all.
Expose thousands (yes, thousands) of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders to the game of golf through our Golf In Schools program. We collaborate with Phys. Ed. teachers in Central Oregon to provide an introduction to the game in a safe and welcoming setting.
Keep the COJGA Card program available, which will provide affordable access to 9 different Central Oregon facilities ($5-$10) and range balls ($2-$3) for juniors who have completed our rules and etiquette training.
Provide compensation to our dedicated coaches, including the inspiring 15+ year-olds in our mentor/intern program.

Our not-for-profit program is offered to the youth of our community in the hopes that it will make a positive impact on their lives, regardless of gender, religion or socio-economic background. By supporting COJGA, you're not just funding a program; you're investing in the future of our community, allowing our youth to Grow with Golf and become amazing human beings.

We're grateful for your continued support and belief in our mission.

Happy Holidays,

Coach Nate
