Volunteering with the Miracle League was such an amazing experience. I was a "buddy" for two players, which meant I supported them as they bat and ran bases. I also bonded with them in the outfield while making sure they were having fun and staying engaged.

The mission of the Miracle League is to provide equal opportunities to people with disabilities to play baseball, which connects to my values of inclusion and empathy through showing me how important it is for everyone to experience the joy of playing sports. All of the volunteers worked together to make the game special by practicing patience and cheering for all of the players, which showed how these events create such a loving and supportive community.

Something that I learned was that Wilmington is home to one of the largest Miracle League fields in the country, which emphasized how important it is to volunteer and help support these games. I really enjoyed volunteering with the lovely staff and amazing players, and I would be happy to volunteer again!
