Volunteer at Special Olympics
Special Olympics puts on training and competitions for athletes with intellectual disabilities, and volunteers make every event possible. You can coach a sport, help run competition day, hand out medals, cheer from the sidelines, or support school-based Unified programs where athletes and partners play together. Roles suit all ages, many are one-day commitments, and the energy at these events is unforgettable.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
