Volunteer Charter School Sports: Baseball and Softball Coach

Save to Favorites

Make a difference in the life of a young person today. It will change your life.

DREAM wouldn’t exist without volunteers. In 1991, it was volunteers who transformed an abandoned, garbage-strewn parking lot into two baseball diamonds for East Harlem youth, ultimately founding Harlem RBI. Today volunteers still form the backbone of DREAM, which relies on a diverse corps of over 100 volunteers in a range of positions to run its award-winning programs.

Volunteer baseball/softball coaches work with youth ages 11-18 in practices and games. Each coach serves as a member of a staff made up of volunteer coaches and managers. Coaches have a direct and noticeable impact on the positive development of the youth they coach.

What You'll Do

• Coach youth in technical skills, teambuilding and personal development;
• Lead practices, facilitate team meetings and attend professional development trainings;
  Provide a positive, team-based environment focused on teaching baseball, softball and life skills;

What We're Looking For

• Ability to create a positive, team-based environment focused on teaching baseball/softball;
• Baseball/Softball playing or coaching experience for ages 11 and up;
• Experience with inner-city coaching (a plus);
• At least 18 years of age.
