Volunteer at our office or warehouse - Cary/Morrisville area

Special Olympics North Carolina regularly needs assistance at our office. 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 a local program essentially in each county of the state with year-round sports training and local events. In addition to having sport coaches, each program has a local committee that assists the Local Program Coordinator in all of their program needs.
