History

The Roaring Lambs International Junior Golf Academy was established in 1986 as a charitable and educational organization, dedicated to encouraging the participation of multi-racial, inner-city youth in junior golf activities. Our program operates year round, providing instruction and play for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. It has been the programs mission to use golf as a means of instilling self-discipline, honesty, commitment, integrity and proper manners in youth.

In addition to the golf component of the program, we provide tutoring, health education, nutrition awareness and life skills training. We are striving to keep pace with the technical advances we are seeing in our society and realize that now is the time to invest in specialized training and education.

Founder and Executive Director, Ms. Gladys Lee has sought to expand Roaring Lambs to include youth of all backgrounds and become more representative of society as a whole. Ms. Lee not only saw Roaring Lambs as an opportunity to expose children to golf, but she also saw the opportunity to promote diversity, develop character and good citizenship. Ms. Lee places a strong emphasis on instilling values such as honesty, integrity, patience, discipline and good sportsmanship. The program and its' membership have grown tremendously. Roaring Lambs boast a multi-cultural and diverse socioeconomic membership where children learn to interact with people of all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds while being taught the highest caliber of golf and valuable life skills. The program, which has received numerous awards and special recognition, is one of the best in the nation.
