Thank you for taking the initiative to volunteer for Special Olympics. It is the driving efforts of our families and volunteers that have made us one of the most respected sports programs in the world.

The objective of this orientation is to provide the information necessary for our volunteers to properly and successfully assist Special Olympics athletes. It will focus on the overall organization of Special Olympics, as well as those duties specific to Team Volunteers.

Please note that following the orientation there will be a short 20-question quiz.
