Why Should I Become a Volunteer?
Hendricks Avenue Baseball is an organization designed to build good citizens. It is a program of leadership, preparing today's youth to be tomorrow's leaders. HAB relies on a devoted legion of adult volunteers to help ensure that the organization remains structured and runs smoothly. Our program is always looking for responsible and enthusiastic individuals to support and coordinate HAB events and activities. As a volunteer, you should have a keen interest in the safety, well-being, and overall development of children. By reading further, you will discover that the benefits of volunteering are endless. You will also gain a better understanding of why you should become involved, who volunteers are, what you can do, and how you can sign up.
Who Can Volunteer?
Anyone can apply to become a volunteer. Whatever talents or skills you have, we can use them! Volunteers are grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, retirees, community leaders, former HAB players, friends, neighbors, and more. Any community member who wishes to become a volunteer may apply.
All parents of children involved with HAB are strongly encouraged to volunteer. As a parent and 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, HAB and its 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 HAB the right to conduct necessary background checks.

Parents, take a minute to select a volunteer role while registering your child. We will take it from there.
What Can I Volunteer To Do?
No experience is required to become a volunteer. Most of the volunteer opportunities require little or no training. We will provide you with any necessary training (as well as support and encouragement), as they deem necessary. The best volunteers are those who are able to bring added enjoyment to the game simply be being themselves. What you see during gameday is a mere fraction of what you can do as a volunteer. You can volunteer to help in virtually any aspect of our program.
