Corporate Volunteer Program

The success of corporate involvement in achieving the maximum benefit from the Special Olympics experience comes not only through financial support but also through volunteer efforts.  The “hands on” participation of your company will add a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that financial support cannot do alone.

According to the Points of Light Foundation, “Corporate volunteer programs advance strategic business goals, and, according to executives, significantly increase their company’s overall competitiveness in the global marketplace.  Successful employee volunteer programs also motivate and provide training and skill building for their employees.”

All-in-all it becomes a valuable team-building experience for the company and a meaningful hands-on experience for the volunteer while bringing your employees, colleagues, and clients together for one purpose.  Volunteers walk out on the playing field and have a chance to see their investments making a true difference in the lives of the athletes and their families.  Both the company and the individual are reflected in the vision of many organizations as they continue to promote good corporate citizenship.

Special Olympics Maryland would not exist without the time, energy, dedication, and commitment of our volunteers.  There are numerous volunteer opportunities with Special Olympics Maryland with special events, as well as, competitions at both the statewide and local community level.  For more information about volunteering, please visit the volunteer section on our website (www.somd.org) or contact Janet Novak at (410)789-6677 x 111 or jnovak@somd.org.
