Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Special Olympics!

There are three different ways to get involved:

Volunteer With Local Programs
 
You can start your own local program or work with an existing team throughout their season (8 to 10 weeks) and attend state-level events at the end of the season in the following roles:
  • Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Chaperones
  • Program Coordinators

  • Unified Partners
 
To start your own local program, please contact Heather at the West Section Office – 413-420-0020
 
Day-of Volunteers
 
Come help out at a local Special Olympics event! Volunteers are always needed to help with:
 
  • Set up & break down
  • Staging athletes

  • Compiling results (timing, measuring, etc)

  • Awards

  • Olympic Town

  • Event specific helpers (i.e. track officials, soccer field or basketball court monitors, officials

  • Team escorts
Management Team Members

Become a bigger piece of the puzzle!
For those looking for a deeper level of involvement with local Special Olympics events, we invite you to join one of our management teams! Experience in event planning, volunteer management, fundraising, or sport-specific activities is helpful but all are welcome!
