LEADERSHIP
VOLUNTEERS
Batter Up Baseball’s student volunteers are fun, helpful and have helped create an intergenerational culture of care in our camps and programs. Many are returning players who spent their summers at Batter Up’s camp and want to come back to be a part of the leadership and the fun. Student volunteers receive community service hours and several have gone on to be hired as staff.
For more information on volunteering with Batter Up, contact Mike Irving, Director, (416) 878-4523.
