Why should you become a Lewisburg Little League 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.
Lewisburg Little League is always looking for responsible and enthusiastic individuals to support Little League events and activities.

We are currently looking for volunteer.
Board Positions and Committees
We continue to seek support on our volunteer board. This year the goal is to have a full volunteer board along with a number of committees to assist with the many tasks of the league. Participating in a committee provides more flexibility and does not require board meeting attendance or participation. The following areas need additional support. Each committee will be managed by a board member.
Field Maintenance - a group of volunteers who can assist with field preparations (mowing, lining fields, raking, etc.) to ensure the best experience for all players
Concessions - a group of volunteers who will oversee the concession stands at the fields and ensure we provide assistance to this vital fundraiser at each game.
Volunteer Days - work the concession stand, organize team photo day, keep score, umpire games, serve as a PA announcer, etc.
All parents must support their child’s experience with volunteerism in the league. Please respond to
[email protected] with your interest in these various committees so we can start preparing for the season. We appreciate your support.
Who Can Volunteer?
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.
No experience is required to become a volunteer. Most of the volunteer opportunities require little or no training. You will be provided with any necessary training (as well as support and encouragement), as deemed necessary. The best volunteers are those who are able to bring added enjoyment to the game simply be being themselves. What you see during Little League games is a mere fraction of what you can do as a volunteer. You can volunteer to help in virtually any aspect of Little League Baseball or Softball.
All parents of children involved in Little League Baseball and Softball 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.
On rare occasions, Little League, through District Administrators and your local Board of Directors, may deny individuals the privilege of volunteering for reasons, past or present, that may be detrimental to the positive development of young people, other volunteers, and/or Little League International. When you apply to become a volunteer, you give the local Little League organization the right to conduct necessary background checks.
Little League International has a number of requirements for Volunteering including an annual background check and adherence to state laws related to safety and child protection. Most volunteer positions also require successful completion of Abuse Awareness Training (SafeSport). You can read about Little League's Child Protection Program here.
