Volunteer Opportunities

Camp SOAR - Charlotte

Camp SOAR is a free, five-day camp held in Charlotte for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

Camp SOAR provides a fun and memorable experience for our campers, and we are confident that it will be the same memorable experience for our volunteers. Join us at a volunteer June 15-19. Sign up here!

Local Program Opportunities

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.

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.

Learn More!

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.
