“Special Olympics Colorado has been a wonderful
part of the last 16 years of our lives. We have discovered
lifetime friendships, experienced unconditional acceptance
and the joy of giving and sharing with others.”
– Crandall Family
 Volunteer
Touch a life, and you’ll be touched, too. More than
6,000 volunteers help Special Olympics Colorado –
and see their investment of time and talent make an immediate
impact. Coach athletes, support a statewide competition,
become a sports official, be a timer at a local event…
Opportunities are endless, and volunteers come from all
walks of life: students, senior citizens, business people,
family members of athletes, amateur and professional athletes
and coaches, teachers and many others.

Become an Athlete
Special Olympics athletes have the chance to compete,
to grow, to learn and to inspire. They can participate
in 22 sports, train to be a coach or official or participate
in Athlete Leadership Programs that provide other opportunities,
such as learning public speaking skills. No matter what
their ability level, athletes can benefit from Special
Olympics Colorado.

Coach
Volunteering your time as a coach is one of Special Olympics
Colorado’s most rewarding positions. The year-round
training we provide for people with intellectual disabilities
requires dedicated coaches – both adults and teens
– who can work with athletes on a regular basis.
As a coach, you become a role model and character builder,
plus help athletes discover their physical skills, self-worth,
courage and capacity to grow. Your time commitment needs
only to be two to four hours per week for eight weeks.
Sports experience is not required – training is provided
by Special Olympics Colorado.

Unified Sports® brings together athletes with and
without intellectual disabilities, people of similar
age and athletic ability who train and compete on the
same teams.
