Who We Are

Girls That Golf Foundation was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create a space where all young girls could learn the game of golf while growing into confident leaders. Founded in Las Vegas by Ayreo Gray, a passionate advocate for youth empowerment and diversity in golf, our organization began with just a handful of girls, a few borrowed clubs, and a belief in the transformative power of opportunity.

As a lifelong golfer and community leader, Ayreo recognized the lack of representation, access, and mentorship available to girls, especially those from underserved communities. She created Girls That Golf Foundation to break down those barriers, not just through sport, but through structured programs focused on leadership, confidence-building, character development, and emotional wellness.

From our first clinic on a public driving range to hosting full summer camps, community scrambles, and corporate fundraising events, Girls That Golf Foundation has grown into a movement. We've provided numerous young girls with access to professional instruction, academic support, mentorship, and leadership coaching, all while introducing them to a sport that opens doors to scholarships, careers, and lifelong friendships.

We believe golf is more than a game. It’s a gateway to discipline, focus, networking, and self-worth. And at Girls That Golf Foundation, every swing tells a story of resilience, empowerment, and possibility.

We are dedicated to more than just teaching the game, we’re shaping confident, capable young leaders. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to combine golf instruction with life skills, leadership development, and mentorship, creating a transformative experience for girls aged 6–17.

Our introductory clinics are perfect for beginners and intermediate players. Girls learn golf fundamentals, etiquette, and course knowledge in a supportive and empowering environment led by experienced instructors.

Our six-week summer program blends golf training with leadership, confidence-building, and social-emotional learning. Each week focuses on a core theme, such as self-expression, resilience, teamwork, or goal-setting, all while improving their game.

Girls are paired with female mentors and golf professionals who guide them on and off the course. Through workshops and interactive sessions, participants build confidence, develop public speaking skills, and learn how to lead with integrity.

These monthly events provide girls with the opportunity to practice their skills, meet new friends, and enjoy the game in a fun, low-pressure setting. We invite families and community members to join in, promoting inclusiveness and support.

We expose girls to careers in golf and beyond, from scholarships to opportunities in business, STEM, and sports management. We host panels, tours, and shadowing experiences to inspire their future ambitions.

This program allows returning students to serve as junior leaders and ambassadors, helping to guide new participants, represent our foundation at events, and build leadership experience for school and scholarship applications.

At Girls That Golf Foundation, our mission goes far beyond the fairway. We are creating pathways to confidence, leadership, and lifelong success, one girl and one swing at a time.

Since our founding, we've proudly impacted the lives of numerous girls, many from underserved and underrepresented communities. Through our free and low-cost clinics, leadership workshops, mentorship programs, and community events, we’re opening doors and breaking barriers in a sport that has long lacked diversity and inclusion.

What We've Accomplished So Far:

• Hundreds of girls introduced to golf, many picking up a club for the first time
• Scholarship connections and referrals to national golf programs
• Leadership and life skills training integrated into every program
• Partnerships with schools, golf clubs, and youth organizations across Las Vegas and beyond
• Community events that raise awareness and funding to keep our programs accessible and thriving

But the real impact can’t be measured in numbers alone, it’s seen in the girl who now speaks up in class with confidence, in the friendships built on the greens, and in the young leaders who return to mentor the next generation.

At Girls That Golf Foundation, we’re not just growing golfers, we’re growing leaders, dreamers, and change-makers.
