Volunteer

Volunteering for Special Olympics can be a life-changing experience not just for the athletes, but for you as well. Special Olympics sports training and competition, and related programs promoting participation and inclusion, transform the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. And when volunteers come together with athletes with intellectual disabilities through Special Olympics, longstanding myths are dispelled, negative attitudes changed, and new opportunities to embrace and celebrate people with differences are created.

Special Olympics would not exist today and could not have been created without the time, energy, commitment and enthusiasm of its volunteers.

Special Olympics relies on volunteers at all levels of the movement to ensure that every athlete is offered a quality sports training and competition experience.

Volunteering for Special Olympics can create lifelong friendships and rewards of immeasurable value.
