Volunteering

 

Special Olympics Connaught has long attracted volunteers from all walks of life. In 2011, volunteers donated their time and talents to the programmes and athletes of Special Olympics Connaught.

Who can volunteer?
Individuals, groups or families – anyone can volunteer. There is a place for volunteers of all ages, abilities and interests. No matter how much or how little time you have to give, when you volunteer, you will be making a difference in the lives of our athletes. More importantly, you'll find that you get more out of your volunteer experience than you give.

What does a volunteer do?
Volunteers can coach athletes, raise money, coordinate events, provide office support, volunteer at one-day events, serve on local / regional committees, help with sport development and so much more.

Where can I volunteer?
You can volunteer in your local community Club year-round. you can also volunteer at one of our Sports Events throughout the region.

Because there are so many programmes, services and Volunteer Opportunities, we are sure you will find something to suit your interests and availability.  For more information, please contact connaughtvol@specialolympics.ie
