Volunteer at our office or warehouse - Cary/Morrisville area

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 sign up online or email volunteers@sonc.net with questions. We welcome groups of four or five to join us as well.
