Volunteer

Volunteers truly are the very backbone of
the Special Olympics Colorado program!

Thousands of volunteers dedicate their time to Special Olympics Colorado every year. They coach and train athletes, assist with fundraising events, serve on committees to help organize events and competitions, and more. Special Olympics Colorado could not provide enough support to athletes without the dedication, commitment, and remarkable efforts that our volunteers provide.

Why volunteer for Special Olympics Colorado?
It is estimated that there are nearly 100,000 people with intellectual disabilities in Colorado. Join more than 10,000 other Coloradans who contribute time to one of the country’s most respected charities to reach more than 10,000 athletes each year.
