We know that life is busy and time is a precious commodity for parents and we are deeply grateful to all those that have donated their time to work a concession shift, coach a team or help with an event.
You choose how much time you are able to give the league, some opportunities require more time than others.

Volunteer Requirements: Must be completed every year you wish to volunteer, regardless of past participation.
1. Volunteer Application:
+ The first step to becoming a volunteer is to complete the Little League Volunteer Application. This is easily completed through the same account you use to register your player for the season. You will need to answer a few questions about criminal history, consent to a background check and upload a photo of your government issued ID.
+ A member of the Board of Directors will review the application and if approved, a link will be sent to your registered email to complete a full background check.
2. Background Check:
+ Every volunteer is required to complete a background check through JDPalantine, paid for by the league. The background check is thorough and comprehensive and includes criminal history, a search of the National Sex Offender Registry, the US Center for SafeSport's Centralized Disciplinary Database, USA Baseball's Ineligible List, and the Little League International Ineligible/Suspended List.
+ Pending investigation, charges, convictions, guilty plea, no contest plea or admission to any crime involving or against a minor will automatically disqualify the applicant.
+ Inclusion on the US Center for SafeSport's Centralized Disciplinary Database, USA Baseball's Ineligible List, or Little League International Ineligible/Suspended List will automatically disqualify the applicant.
3. Abuse Awareness Training:
+ Little League requires that all volunteers complete the Little League Child Abuse Awareness Training, available through Little League University. This training takes around 30 minutes and is the only course that will be accepted. Click here to access the training portal.
+ After successfully passing the course, please forward your certificate to us at [email protected] for verification. You will not be approved as a volunteer unless we have received your certificate.
The Board of Directors have final say over all volunteers and reserve the right to turn down any volunteer. No volunteer will have tenure or be guaranteed a role.
