Every Hand Helps

 Give individuals with disabilities the gift of friendship and participation by volunteering as a Buddy with the Miracle League North Bay (MLNB). As a Buddy, you’ll work one-on-one with our atheletes, warming your heart and spreading joy. Each athlete with special needs is paired with a dedicated volunteer who stays with them throughout the entire event or game. Your role as a Buddy includes ensuring the athlete’s safety, physically assisting with activities (if needed), and being a friend on and off the field.

Buddies are responsible for their athlete from the moment of introduction until they are back with their parent or guardian, staying with them wherever they go. We seek energetic, committed, and enthusiastic volunteers for each event, and all Buddies must be at least 12 years old.

We ask that you allow athletes as much freedom as possible to enjoy the activities and play their game. Please assist them according to their individual needs. Arrive at the venue 30 minutes before the event to help with setup and learn your role for the day. If you are unable to attend, please notify Miracle League staff beforehand. 

We are always looking for buddies who are willing to go above and beyond. Interested in being our mascot, announcing games, or coaching? We need you! Contact us at [email protected] and let us know you’re interested.
