The Miracle League of the Triangle is home to hundreds of players with special needs who come together to enjoy America’s favorite pastime – Baseball. Each year, we rely on thousands of volunteers to provide our special athletes the joy of hitting a baseball, scoring a run, and being part of a team. Together, our players and volunteers share friendship, comradery, acceptance, and FUN! Come join us at one of our ball fields for a rewarding experience.

Opportunities

Ages 12 and up | Any qualified individual or group can give individuals with special needs the gift of baseball by volunteering as a Buddy. Our Buddy system pairs each player with a volunteer helper. Buddy training is provided on-site before your shift begins. Working one-on-one with our players will warm your heart and give you a new perspective on life.

Goals for our Buddies include:

  • Assist the player according to his/her needs.
  • Protect the player at all times.
  • Allow the player as much freedom as possible to play.
  • Have fun!

Requirements

  • Volunteers must be at least 12 years old.
  • Volunteers must first attend a training session, held on-site before each shift.
  • Volunteers must sign up online in advance for any shift they wish to serve.
  • Volunteer shifts, assigned by the Field Manager, are a minimum of three hours.
  • Sign up as an individual volunteer here.

Ages 12 and up | Assist at our registration table, or as an announcer, umpire, DJ, or scoreboard operator. Help out during special events like season parties, community events, or fundraiser activities. Learn more below:

Wanted: Cheerful, outgoing individuals to greet and check in volunteers. Please arrive 20 minutes early for this shift to complete training.

Announcers make a huge impact on the Miracle League experience, introducing players, providing some play-by-play to the game and delivering encouragement to participants over the loud speakers. Volunteers must be familiar with our games to be an announcer.

Please email volunteer@mltriangle.com to become an announcer.

Our umpires don’t call balls, strikes and outs, but they have an important role in our games - keeping safety at home plate a priority, assisting coaches as needed and celebrating the accomplishments of our players are their principle goals.
If you are familiar with iTunes and an iPad, you can be a DJ. We provide you with the playlists, you just start the song when a player comes up to bat.

CARY ONLY - 1+1=2…track the score on the scoreboard with each inning ending in a tie.

RALEIGH ONLY - Match the player’s file on the computer to the player at the plate and half the battle is won. Double click and the player’s picture is on the scoreboard.
