Ways to Volunteer

Whether you want to flex your high school sports skills or cheer from the stands, we welcome volunteers of all types. Select a path to get started!

Sport Volunteer

Sport Volunteers range from coaches and assistant coaches to Unified partners who play on the same team as Speical Olympics athletes. Sports officials and competition directors, who oversee event competition, also help us ensure the best play possible.

Event Volunteer

According to scientists, volunteering can boost levels of serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins, improving both mood and mental health. Just ask any of our amazing volunteers. We have a wide range of opportunities available, so find your perfect fit and join us!
