Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers have been at the heart of Golf Manitoba since its founding in 2003.
With nearly 80 volunteers provincewide, Golf Manitoba is continuously looking to expand its volunteer community through the various roles within our amateur championships, course rating system, and youth development programs. We heavily rely on the collaboration of our governance volunteers as they support the organization mission, vision and values through their involvement as Committee and Board members.
As a volunteer, you are part of a team of volunteers and staff working together to enable Golf Manitoba to achieve its goals. Your contribution, dedication and commitment are vital to our growth. Each volunteer opportunity contributes an important part to the organization as a whole and allows Golf Manitoba to provide the services we do to help the game of golf prosper.
Volunteers enjoy:
- Giving back to the game of golf – working at premier amateur golf events
- Socializing with a vibrant network of golfers and clubs
- Staff support
- Training and recognition
