Volunteer at the Special Olympics! June 15-17

This year the Summer Special Olympics are in Western New York. Organizers of the event have asking for volunteers because over 1000 volunteers will be needed to make the event a success and ensure the kids have a great experience.

There are two types of volunteers:

A Social Volunteer is:

A person or group who would like to have an experience that has an open schedule and open
opportunity to be our cheering section and hospitality greeters for our athletes. This is a very important role, as many athletes travel far and do not always have the opportunity for their families to attend and cheer them on. You would also attend the competitions and light the fire within these champions to give them that extra boost of encouragement to go for the gold!


A Service Volunteer is:

A person or group who is willing to commit and dedicate their day to the athletes and willing to do the job needed of them. These jobs can include, but are not limited too: set up, athlete escorts, stagers, timers, scorekeeping and etc.

To volunteer you only need to fill out the form and fax or mail it.
