Becoming a Volunteer

Thinking about volunteering? We’d love to have you!

At Special Olympics, everyone is welcome. Whether you're flying solo or part of a group, a student, teacher, sports official, senior citizen, corporate employee, new immigrant, or member of a community group, there’s likely to be a place for you here. Whatever your background, your skills and energy can make a real difference in someone’s life.

What does it take to thrive as a volunteer? Just a few simple things:

  • A positive, “can-do” attitude
  • A willingness to learn and take part in training when needed
  • The ability to work well with others
  • Patience
  • Time to share

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you! Just fill out the form below and one of our friendly volunteers will be in touch to help you get started.
