In 2015, the LPGA Foundation began a new, exciting journey, as we introduced a two-day LPGA Leadership Academy to keep teenage girls engaged in golf and prepare them for leadership opportunities.
The LPGA Leadership Academy uses golf as a vehicle to provide a framework for young women to develop their confidence, communication, and leadership skills. Group exercises, expert led discussions, journaling and interaction with female executives and mentors help girls discover their unique strengths and leadership style.
We use the game of golf as a platform and learning tool to:
- teach girls how to become better decision makers
- overcome and let go of set backs
- take calculated risks and "Lean In"
- develop skills to accomplish specific goals
- play their own game and find their own voice
This years leadership academy will be held June 20-21 at the Midland Country Club. The application deadline is April 26th, so make sure you get signed up soon.
All girls ages 13-18 with some golf experience, an interest in improving confidence, communication, decision making, team and leadership skills and plan to pursue a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Math) field in college should plan yo attend.
To recap .... the Academy utilizes golf as the medium, a key life-lesson will be addressed at each station throughout the Academy which will ultimately unlock each participant's true potential. Each day will include leadership activities/lessons via golf with lunch, stations, breaks, and journaling.
The Academy comes at no cost to girls, ages 13 - 18, whose applications have been accepted.
Participants must be ages 13-18 and have some golf experience in order to participate. If selected, girls would have to bring their own golf clubs.
