Description

Miracle League Buddies are volunteers ranging in age from elementary school to senior citizens.  These include family members, individuals, and local youth and civic groups.  All Buddies are expected to demonstrate appropriate maturity, and to exhibit sensitivity and good judgment when interacting with Players.”  Many people refer to the Buddy volunteers as “Angels in the Outfield.”   Buddies can bring their own equipment but that is not required. What is required is to provide smiles and laughter to the Miracle League Players.

The minimum age for a Buddy is 13.  All Buddies are expected to demonstrate appropriate maturity, and to exhibit sensitivity and good judgment when interacting with Players.  The goals for Miracle League Buddies are:

  • To protect the Miracle League Player at all times.
  • Always allow the Miracle League Player as much freedom as possible to play his/her own game.
  • Assist Miracle League Player according to their needs.
  • Be good spirited with enthusiasm, love, good attitude and concern in motivating the players and their families.
  • Become their friend; get to know the players and their families.
  • Arrive at field 15 minutes prior to game time.

Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian  and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.

We have volunteer opportunities in the Fall and Spring seasons on Saturday and Sunday.
