Upward Basketball is hosting over 550 children this season and we need lots of help... Some of the great volunteer positions available include scorekeepers, concession stand and game day workers, devotional leaders and many more. The season starts in January and runs every Saturday through February.

Our volunteer schedule is flexible and we can work around anyone's availability! (This is also a great opportunity for high school students to earn community service hours). Upward Basketball program offers you the opportunity to serve in a fun and rewarding atmosphere!
