Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Special Games! We are expecting two fun days of non-competitive sports and games for community members with disabilities. This year's theme is Summer Camp as we celebrate how every athlete, every coach, and every volunteer is stronger when we work together!

This year, Practice Day will be held on March 14th from 9am-12pm and BIG Day will be on March 21st from 9am-2pm.

We are in need of:

Coaches (Athletes are matched with volunteer coaches)--must be available for the full shift on both days. *Highest need*
Event support (logistic support)--can decide between one or both days.

All Volunteers will be invited to a virtual volunteer orientation and will be sent the recording to watch before the event.
