Spring Volunteer Schedule

Volunteers are the backbone of Special Olympics Oklahoma.  Dedicated volunteers from civic/service groups, corporations, schools, universities, and individuals from your own neighborhood provide manpower for over 120 competition, fundraising, and special events each year. Opportunities for volunteering are as diverse as the people that volunteer.

As a Special Olympics Oklahoma volunteer you will get more than you give! You can’t help but have fun. And the friendships made with other volunteers as well as the athletes can last forever.To receive a volunteer packet & application form by mail or for more information contact Cathi Morris, Program Services Manager or call (918)481-1234.

Area Volunteer schedules are posted to our website in late August and late January. Schedules include a local volunteer contact for each event. Winter State Games volunteer flyer is posted in November and Summer State Games volunteer flyer is posted in March.
