EVENTS VOLUNTEER
 

VOLUNTEER

Special Olympics Southern California would not exist today without the expertise, time, and enthusiasm of its volunteers. They are on the sports field guiding the athletes through drills. They are behind the scenes ensuring events run properly. And they are giving and receiving more high fives and hugs than they can count.

OPPORTUNITIES


#

Day of Event Volunteers (Inside of Sports and Beyond Sports)

This is by far our most popular way of volunteering. It gives those with limited time or who are new to Special Olympics a way to volunteer without making more than a one day commitment. There are day of event opportunities inside of a sports environment (at a competition) or beyond a sports environment (at a fundraising or outreach event).
