Volunteers make everything we do
possible.
From cheering on athletes at competitions to coaching teams and supporting events across Maine, volunteers are the heart of Special Olympics Maine. No matter your experience, skills, or available time, there’s a meaningful way for you to get involved.
Two Ways to VOLUNTEER
Whether you’re looking to help at a single event or become a regular part of an athlete’s journey, there’s a volunteer opportunity for you. Every volunteer plays an important role in creating a more inclusive Maine where people with intellectual disabilities are welcomed, valued, and celebrated.
