Volunteer
Looking to make a difference in your community?
We love our volunteers! Special Olympics Idaho thrives because of the incredible individuals who give their time, talents, and heart to our mission. Without the dedication and enthusiasm of our volunteers, we simply couldn’t deliver the life-changing programs and events that bring inclusion and joy to so many.
From coaching athletes and supporting local teams to helping at competitions and providing behind-the-scenes support, there’s a place for everyone at Special Olympics Idaho. No matter your skills or schedule, you can play a vital role in building a more inclusive Idaho.
Looking to Make a Difference in your Community?
Heres How!
Coach
Coaches play a unique role in Special Olympics Idaho, working hands-on with athletes to provide the sports, skills and spirit they need to compete. We recruit coaches year-round for three unique sports seasons. It only takes 1-2 hours a week to make a meaningful impact.
Day of Event Volunteer
Event Volunteers are crucial to organizing and managing our events. Our volunteers are the individuals that make our competitions and fundraising opportunities happen! Volunteering is the greatest way to get involved and contribute to our mission.
Unified Partner
Unified Sports is an inclusive sports program that unites Special Olympics athletes (individuals with intellectual disabilities) and partners (individuals without intellectual disabilities) as teammates for training and competition
Local Program Leadership
Join the volunteer management team and help make an ongoing difference to your local community. Volunteers coordinate sports, register athletes, communicate with families, reach out to the community, raise funds, and more. It’s fun to work together with your local group.
