How You Can Help
As you may know, the Upward program relies totally on volunteers. Without them, there would be no program. Hence, we need everyone's participation to make your child's experience the best it can be. You don't have to know a lot about basketball as there are many places where you can help. Below are the volunteer departments where we need assistance. Remember, even just a few hours helping makes the difference.
Look over the areas and prayerfully consider where you can help. Contact us by email at fentonupwardbasketball@charter.net or by using the contact us page and let us know where you'd like to be involved.
