Volunteer Opportunities

SPORTS EVENTS

Our events run from October to June each year, if you are interested in becoming part of a team to help plan, manage and run events please contact Sinead on sinead.costello@specialolympics.ie.   A commitment of about 1 hour per week during the sports calendar year is required.

Athlete Leadership Programme Mentors

The ALPs programme facilitates athletes to explore opportunities additional to sports training and competition and empowers athletes to take on new challenging roles.  We have a number of ALPs athletes across Dublin, who require a mentor.  Find out more about the ALPs programme or contact neil.osullivan@specialolympics.ie. 

COMMITTEES / TEAMS
