GET INVOLVED
Community involvement can directly impact the youth served and the skills they develop through their experience with First Dink. Consider becoming a coach or volunteer today and help give the youth of today the tools they will continue to use tomorrow and throughout the rest of their lives.
BECOME A COACH
We are looking for coaches – all experience levels are welcome
At First Dink, we help youth discover what’s inside of them, guide them to strengthen it and mentor them to put it into action in everything they do. To do this, we need enthusiastic and caring individuals to serve as positive mentors and role models to youth of various backgrounds.
Our coaches’ ability to develop impactful relationships with our participants is at the core of what our program is all about. You don’t have to be a Pickleball pro (or even a 4.0 player), we will provide the training you need!
Our training system is built on research-proven methods of positive youth development, providing coaches with the tools to make youth feel safe, included and empowered.
​
If you have a passion to make a difference and want to become a coach, please reach out to us at info@firstdink.org.
VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are also needed off the court
We rely on volunteers to accomplish our mission, and not all of those goals involve Pickleball.
These opportunities include:
Fundraising/Events
Operations/Administration
Mentoring/Tutoring
In-school/After School programming support
By contributing your time and talent, you can directly make a positive impact in a young person's life.
