Case Study: Sheldon Little League

Decent Essays
There have been many volunteer organizations that I have had the privilege to be a part of, yet the dearest to my heart has been the Sheldon Little League. This is a baseball and softball organization which helps kids learn the fundamentals of baseball and softball through volunteer coaching. Sheldon Little League is a community wide affair that takes numerous of non-paid volunteers to run. This past year I was able to serve as the T-Ball player agent where I oversaw all activity in the 4-6 age division. I am a very service oriented person and I feel like Little League is an amazing organization to be involved with, seeing as it has numerous opportunities to help others. Little League Baseball and Softball Associations are located all over

    Why were black people segregated from baseball? Today many of the legends and greats we think of were African Americans, and it’s crazy to think they were excluded from the MLB just sixty years ago. They were segregated from anything you can think of at the time, and sports weren’t excluded. No matter if you were an Olympian athlete or a baseball all star chances are you’d end up with a dirty low pay job. So rather than give up the sport they loved and performed well at, they created the Negro Leagues.…

    Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to help people. Being a Boy Scout gave me the opportunity to do so. When I was eight years old I joined the cub scouts which began my life long campaign of helping people. I started off learning to take the oath to serve the people weather it be by the organization or myself. I assisted by selling popcorn for charity organizations ( The San Antonio Food Bank and The Knights of Columbus) or for money that we needed for our camp out trips.…

    For my sixty hours of volunteer work I decided to volunteer at a Child Life Center which was in a poverty stricken area in Norfolk, Va. At the child life center my job as a volunteer was to assist the children with their homework, help the staff monitor the children on local field trips, as well as serve as a positive role model for the children. The experience I had at Park Place Child Life Center was one I will honestly never forget. Although I didn’t get any actual counseling experience, I was able to learn the ways that the non-profit organization received their funding, I was able to gain experience in working with the youth, and I was also able to make a positive impact on the lives of children who were considered “at-risk youth”. To go there every day and be able to see the change the children had in their behaviors and how much just some attention and affection from adults impacted their behaviors was honestly amazing.…

    Segregation In Baseball

    The 1930s and 1940s were know for the campaign against desegregation of the game of baseball. The black baseball players were ultimately deprived from playing in the big leagues with the white ballplayers during the time of segregation. Not only were colored players prohibited from playing on white teams, but their games were often cancelled simply because the white major league teams “refus[ed] to play against a colored ball club” (Lamb 67). Often times, there were many black players who were equally as good as the white players in the major league, but were only paid “ten,twenty, or thirty dollars a game, depending on the crowd and the take” (Lamb 58).…

    Additionally, I am also a nonprofit volunteer group called Yerkrapah which means Keepers of the Country. The purpose of the organization is to help the families whose family member was injured, disabled, or killed during the war. We help them, with food, cloths, medical expenses, and many more. The organization now has a program that those family members who struggle and have a medical problem do not need to pay anything from seeing a doctor up to surgery expenses. This helps to ensure that even though they lost their loved one but there are still people who care and will take care of them.…
