Program Volunteers & Coaches
Join the team of program volunteers and coaches who directly provide training for athletes in eighteen different sports. They work with athletes to improve basic motor skills, teach sport-specific skills, and prepare athletes for competition. The time commitment is one to two sessions each week for 1 to 2 ½ hours. Some weekends are required for competition. Be a part of athletes achieving their goals and help capture the spirit of Special Olympics!
