Across the country Major League baseball players and high school students who are selected to be Team Captains, work together to deliver an important message to other students volunteering is cool, fun and personally rewarding!

VOLUNTEERS STAR IN THE NEW ACTION TEAM PSA

Behind the Scenes as Action Team Captains and Major Leaguers Invite All Schools to Get in on the Action!
