April is National Volunteer Month—a time to recognize the individuals who give their time, energy, and passion to strengthen our community. At First Tee — Greater Philadelphia, our volunteers play a vital role in shaping the experiences of the young people we serve, both on and off the golf course.
Behind every lesson, every tournament, and every moment of growth is a team of dedicated volunteers helping bring our mission to life. Coach Steve Amoriello is a perfect example of what this commitment looks like in action.
Celebrating Volunteer Coach Steve
Since Spring 2025, Steve has been a dedicated volunteer coach with First Tee — Greater Philadelphia, first at Honeybrook Golf Club and now at The Golf Zone Family Fun Center. Week after week, he shows up ready to make a difference—bringing energy, preparation, and a genuine passion for helping our participants grow.
While he’s built meaningful connections across all age groups, Steve has made a particularly strong impact on our older participants—those working hard to improve their skills and earn spots on their high school golf teams. Through his coaching, they’re not only developing their game, but also building confidence, resilience, and a belief in what they can achieve.
Steve’s commitment extends beyond weekly classes. During our Constellation Classic Tournament Series event at Kennett Square Golf & Country Club, he was out on the course on a hot July day making sure participants had water and snacks, assisting with rulings, and helping keep pace of play moving smoothly. It’s this willingness to step in wherever needed that makes volunteers like Steve so essential to the experience we provide.
Leading by Example
As a member of our Advisory Board, Steve’s impact goes even further. He not only brings valuable perspective and a strong connection to our mission, but also chooses to experience it firsthand—working directly with participants and seeing the difference our programs make in their lives.
Recently, Steve took that commitment one step further by applying for a service grant through his company, Cencora, with the goal of bringing additional resources to support our programs.
A Lasting Impact
Volunteers like Steve help make everything we do possible. Their time, energy, and belief in our mission allow us to create meaningful opportunities for young people across our community. This National Volunteer Month, we’re grateful to celebrate Steve and all of the volunteers who help us build Game Changers every day.
