Volunteer at our office or warehouse - Cary/Morrisville area

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 4 or 5 to join us as well.
