Be 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. At the local level, Little League relies on a devoted
legion of adult volunteers to help ensure that the organization
remains structured and runs smoothly. Taconic 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.
Anyone can apply to become a
volunteer. Whatever talents or skills you have, we can use them!
Across the country, 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 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.
