Special Olympics NC helps over 45,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities learn, build self-confidence, and achieve through athletic training and competition. If you are in the area, have a few hours to spare, and love being the voice of the game, join us!

Special Olympics NC will provide a volunteer t-shirt and lunch to volunteers who are volunteering for 5 or more hours.
