Special Olympic
volunteers are very special people who give
their time, energy, effort and heart to bring
smiles to our athletes. Volunteer coaches
are needed to coach seasonal sports
training. Each volunteer attends an
orientation to explore the many
opportunities. Coaches make a commitment
of 1-1/2 to 2 hours a week for a 12-16
week period of time.
If you prefer to work behind the scenes, there are many support
opportunities available. Volunteer
your time to help with fundraising,
outreach, public education and program
planning.
