Athlete Council

As we slowly return to in-person training for Special Olympics NC athletes throughout the state, we will be holding several fundraisers in order to make the return as seamless as possible. The Plane Pull fundraiser will be held October 30 at RDU International Airport in Raleigh. Volunteers are needed to assist with the logistics of this event.

Join Special Olympics for their Fall Invitational Golf Tour September 27 - October 30, 2021, at locations throughout the state! We are in need of volunteers to help with the set-up of the event, athlete check-in, golf-specific duties, and a few other duties throughout the day.

We are looking for people to provide remote tech support for our Zoom fitness training sessions. Each volunteer must choose at least three shifts. Volunteers must be 16 years of age, complete a background check and advanced training which takes about an hour total.

The Special Olympics North Carolina office currently has limited office hours. If you or your group are interested in volunteering in the future, please email volunteers@sonc.net.

Special Olympics North Carolina will need a good deal of help starting at the end of August at our office near Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Please check back if you don’t see any open shifts at the moment. In addition to handling data entry for newly registered athletes and volunteers, we also maintain a large warehouse with almost everything needed for a sports or fundraising event. We need volunteers to assist in keeping it all in order. We welcome groups of four or five to join us as well. Please sign up online or email volunteers@sonc.net with questions.

We have programs throughout the state with year-round programs.

Each program has a local committee that assists the Local Program Coordinator in all of their program needs. Click here to see what opportunities are available or visit your local program's page.
