How Do I Become A Volunteer?

Special Olympics has three types of Volunteers — Class A, Class B and Groups. Each has different requirements as they represent different levels of involvement. Please see the corresponding explanations below:

Class A: Class A Volunteers include anyone who wishes to be a coach, assistant coach, chaperone, committee member, driver, medical, or Unified Partner. Because Class A volunteers will be spending a lot of one-on-one time with our athletes, we take extra precautions to ensure their safety.

Class A volunteers MUST COMPLETE THE STEPS IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:

  1. Complete a Volunteer Application
  2. Complete Protective Behaviors Course
  3. Complete (with satisfactory results) a background check through our selected third party vendor.

Class B: Class B Volunteers are those who only wish to volunteer the day of an event. To be a Class B volunteer, all we need is a completed Volunteer Application.

Groups: To volunteer as a group, all we need is a single group application for each individual.
