VOLUNTEER CLEARANCE LEVELS

With Special Olympics Arizona

Volunteers are the backbone of the Special Olympics movement. They are coaches, trainers, officials, event organizers, fundraisers, and event volunteers. They can also be unified partners playing alongside athletes with intellectual disabilities or fans cheering in the stands.

Rewarding for All

For those who wish to create a lasting impact on their community and themselves, engaging with your local SOAZ community is a wonderful place to start. The SOAZ community in Sedona offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for both seasoned and new volunteers, providing ways to significantly impact our athletes and the community. Participating with the SOAZ team, fellow volunteers, and our remarkable athletes during events fosters meaningful connections and ensures every volunteer ends the day with a smile. Whether you’re looking to volunteer for a single afternoon or commit to long-term involvement, each volunteer plays an essential role in nurturing our athletes’ growth and helping them reach their goals.

Volunteers of all ages, from young children to adults and seniors, bring their enthusiasm and dedication to ensuring our events’ success. We love the energy children volunteers bring to our events, and children as young as seven can volunteer with SOAZ. Children younger than seven don’t have to miss out on the fun: they can bring their energy and enthusiasm to SOAZ events and cheer on our athletes alongside their parents or siblings who are old enough to volunteer. Each volunteer brings their tireless commitment, energy, and passion, which makes each of them part of the indispensable support system that drives our athletes toward victory. The tremendous impact that Special Olympics Arizona achieves today is thanks to the relentless efforts of our volunteers. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Sedona community members who generously donate their time and energy to uplift our athletes and enhance our events. Every volunteer’s effort, no matter how small it may seem, helps us work toward a more compassionate and vibrant community for our athletes.

Through compassionate and selfless acts, our volunteers establish a supportive and connected network. Their steadfast commitment to giving back leaves an enduring impression on every event and athlete they support. Acting as beacons of hope and inspiration, our volunteers empower us to cultivate a community grounded in inclusivity and empathy.
