Greater Cleveland Junior Golf Scholarship Fund (GCJGSF) provides a comprehensive instructional golf program for youth ages 6-18, with a focus on underrepresented children. In addition to golf instruction, GCJGSF offers mentorship, promotes education through scholarships, LPGA*USGA Girls Golf and Youth On Course memberships to all participants.
GCJGSF encourages and sponsors its junior golfers to participate in numerous local and out-of-state golf tournaments, promoting the development of minority male and female golfers. The organization also hosts its own in-house PGA Jr. League which was established in 2023 to provide additional competitive opportunities for its members.

" It most importantly taught me that "golf is a metaphor for life": That metaphor has three key life lessons: do your best, play with integrity and have fun! "

" GCJGSF taught me a lot more than the game of golf. They taught me patience, friendship, discipline, and a sense of belonging to something. Also learned how to work well in groups!"
