Instructions for NELL Volunteers

Step 1: Apply for and Gather All Required Clearance Documentation

Each of these are required by PA State Law for ALL volunteers.


Step 2: Sign-Up to Volunteer through NELL’s Registration System

You will not be able to complete this step unless you have all documentation from Step 1 ready to upload.

  4. Click “Find Volunteer Roles.”
  5. Select the volunteer role you wish to fulfill and follow the registration process, which will include uploading all of your clearances from Step 1.

Step 3: Complete Your Little League Volunteer Application

    • The email will come directly from JDP (not NELL).
  2. This is required annually by Little League International for all volunteers.
  3. While the email states it takes 15 minutes to complete, in actuality, it takes approximately 2 minutes.

    • Be sure to select NELL from the “Little League – Local Leagues” drop-down menu and click “+Join.”
    • If you have an existing account, click your name in the top right corner, select “MY ACCOUNT,” and then “UPDATE MY PROFILE” to link your account with your local Little League.
  2. Complete the Abuse Awareness for Adults course (Takes approximately 15 minutes):
    • Click “EDUCATION.”
    • Select “COURSES.”
    • Click “Abuse Awareness for Adults” → “+Enroll” → “Go to Course.”
    • Complete the course.
    • If you have completed the Abuse Awareness for Adults course in the past and need an updated certificate, select the “Restart Course” button.
    • Note: There is no need to download and email your course completion certificate if you are affiliated with NELL during enrollment.

Note: No coach or volunteer is permitted to have any contact with their team until ALL 4 Steps are completed above.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with NELL and for helping us make this a safe, fun, and rewarding experience for the children within our community!
