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:
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.
