JUNIOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
In the spirit of developing our youth, we are proud to announce the official launch of the West Seattle Little League Junior Volunteer Program for teens ages 13-18 attending middle or high school.
We are looking for Snack Shack and Umpire volunteers. Junior Volunteers will receive a free menu item, beverage and a portion of the tips donated for each shift. After the first three shifts, participating teens will also receive a portion of dollars donated at the beginning of the year to the Junior Volunteer Program by our parents and sponsors.
Volunteer hours will count toward school requirements. The Junior Volunteer Program (JVP) is a great way for teens to build character, courage and loyalty that will ultimately lead to more leadership opportunities.
