Athlete Council

We're bringing our sports training right to Special Olympics NC athletes this fall, but we need your help! Volunteers are needed to serve as virtual Unified partners for a 10-week training and fitness program for people with and without intellectual disabilities.

When you sign up, you will get a training welcome packet, cool gifts and training equipment, and you get a T-shirt as you start showing your activity!

Sign up.

The 2020 Over the Edge will be held October 3 at the Wells Fargo Capitol Center in Downtown Raleigh. Join us as a volunteer.

The 2020 SONC Plane Pull will be held October 17 at the UPS Tarmac at RDU International Airport. Join us as a volunteer.

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

Special Olympics North Carolina needs help throughout the year in our office and warehouse in the Raleigh area.  We handle data entry for newly registered athletes and volunteers.  We maintain a large warehouse with almost everything that you need for a sports event and use various items throughout the year so we need volunteers to keep it all in order.  Please signup online or email volunteers@sonc.net with questions.  We welcome groups of four or five to join us as well.

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.

For information on coaching, volunteering at events, or getting involved with your local program, please fill out the Volunteer Interest Form! Volunteers will be added to our email database for information on future volunteer opportunities.
