Experience the joy of Special Olympics! Volunteers are needed to support our skiing and snowboarding program in Montgomery County. Under the guidance of a head coach, help to support athletes during their skiing or snowboarding practice so that they can develop sport skills and physical fitness.
The skiing/snowboarding season runs from November to March, and practices are on Sundays. For more information, please connect with us at volunteer@specialolympicspa.org or visit our website!

The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
Description
Athletes -- Over 16,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities or closely related developmental disabilities participate in over 300 local, sectional and state events. Athletes range in age from 8 to 80 and are of all ability levels.
Volunteers -- Nearly 46,000 volunteers provided the manpower for Special Olympics Pennsylvania last year.
