A totally rewarding experience! 

A 100% volunteer organization (like North Forsyth Little League) could not function without the support of them! 

Why Should I Become a 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, North Forsyth Little League relies on a devoted legion of adult volunteers to help ensure that the organization remains structured and runs smoothly. We are always looking for responsible and enthusiastic individuals to support and coordinate Little League 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! 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. 

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 our 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. 

How Do I Become A Volunteer?
Parents, while registering your child online, choose a volunteer role and fill out the required information, or if registering in person, fill out the Volunteer Application that is included in the registration packet. Parents and non-parents can also select a volunteer role from the lists below and fill out the required information.

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). 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.

Listed below are some common volunteer opportunities with North Forsyth Little League. Keep in mind that these are general descriptions and will vary depending on our current needs. In addition, other positions may be available. Please consult with our league president on how to best use your talents and skills to help provide your kids the best Little League experience possible.

Being a Team Manager or Coach
Being a manager or coach requires time, patience, and basic knowledge of the game of baseball. You may be required to attend meetings, instructional sessions, or seminars. You will communicate with the parents/guardians of your players to inform them of any schedule changes, rainouts, and North Forsyth Little League events and activities. As a manager or coach, you have more interaction with young people than anyone else at North Forsyth Little League. Therefore, it is important that you understand the goals and virtues of the Little League program in order to effectively communicate them to your players. To gain a better understanding of what those goals and virtues are, speak with our league president. 

Helping with Field Maintenance
North Forsyth Little League is required to maintain the fields that your child plays on. As a part of the field maintenance crew, your skills and abilities may be used to mow grass, line fields, rake dirt, and execute minor repairs on fences, benches and bleachers.

Working Concessions
The concession stand is a very important part of North Forsyth Little League. The responsibilities of a concession stand volunteer vary and may simply involve standing behind a counter and filling orders, cooking hot dogs, hamburgers and french fries, or it may require that you buy, prepare, transport and/or store various concessions.  You must be 16 years or older in order to work in the concession stand.
