Becoming a Mountains Little League VolunteerWhy Should I Become a Volunteer?
Little League Baseball and Softball is an organization
designed to build good citizens. It is a program of leadership, preparing
today's youth to be tomorrow's leaders. Mountains Little League relies on a
devoted legion of adult volunteers to help ensure that the organization remains
structured and runs smoothly. Mountains Little League is always looking for
responsible and enthusiastic individuals to support and coordinate Little League
events and activities. As a volunteer, you should have a keen interest in the
safety, well-being, and overall development of children. By reading further, you
will discover that the benefits of volunteering are endless. You will also gain
a better understanding of why you should become involved, who volunteers are,
what you can do, and how you can sign up.
Who Can Volunteer?
Anyone can apply to become a volunteer. Whatever talents or
skills you have, we can use them! Across the Mountain, volunteers are
grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, retirees, community leaders, former
Little Leaguers, friends, neighbors, and more. Any community member who wishes
to become a volunteer may apply.
All parents of children involved in Little League Baseball and Softball are strongly encouraged to volunteer. As a parent, volunteer, you have the opportunity to spend quality time with your child in a safe, fun-filled environment. Oftentimes, parent and child social lives parallel each other. Volunteering allows your life and your child's life to intersect on common ground, with shared interests and goals.
On rare occasions, Mountains Little League, through District Administrators and your local Board of Directors, may deny individuals the privilege of volunteering for reasons, past or present, that may be detrimental to the positive development of young people, other volunteers, and/or Little League International. When you apply to become a volunteer, you give the local Little League organization the right to conduct necessary background checks.

What Can I Volunteer To Do?
No experience is required to become a volunteer. Most of
the volunteer opportunities require little or no training. Mountains Little
League will provide you with any necessary training (as well as support and
encouragement), as they deem necessary. The best volunteers are those who are
able to bring added enjoyment to the game simply be being themselves. What you
see during Mountains Little League games is a mere fraction of what you can do
as a volunteer. You can volunteer to help in virtually any aspect of Mountains
Little League Baseball or Softball.
