Do something good for your community and yourself … VOLUNTEER!
Our volunteers are #1! Special Olympics would not exist today without the time, energy, commitment, and enthusiasm of volunteers. As a grass-roots organization, Special Olympics relies on volunteers at all levels of the movement to ensure that every athlete and unified teammate is offered a quality sports training and competition experience. As we work to support athletes across the state, we welcome volunteers from all walks of life, experience, and interest to use their skills to help athletes succeed! With opportunities for individuals and groups, we’re a great organization for anyone looking to make a big impact in the community.
