The Colorado Rockies Youth Baseball Initiative encompasses a wide range of programs designed to inspire and cultivate a love of baseball and softball among local youth. These programs place an emphasis on health and activity through baseball and softball, and give opportunities for children to work with and learn from professional Rockies coaches and players. Programs that are under the initiative cater to a wide range of ages, socioeconomic circumstances and physical abilities. Some of these programs have sprung from long-standing local relationships.

In 2007, the Rockies adopted the Boys & Girls Clubs Owen Branch, located in West Denver, and have since played host to club members at annual baseball/softball skills clinics and other events. Over the past year, the Rockies also hosted baseball/softball events with: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado, Player’s Alliance, Special Olympics Colorado, and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.

Colorado Rockies staff members actively volunteer in communities across Colorado, dedicating time and energy to meaningful causes throughout the year. With organized service opportunities at least once a month, our team embraces a shared commitment to giving back. Over the years, we’ve partnered with organizations such as Project Angel Heart, Girls Inc., Soldiers’ Angels, and Children’s Hospital Colorado—supporting their missions and strengthening the communities we call home.
