When you volunteer with SOAZ, you’ll build lasting connections and create memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you’re excited to cheer on our athletes on the sidelines, help our planning and logistics teams coordinate our events, or provide emotional support to our athletes and their families, there is a place for your unique skill set within our volunteer community. Getting involved will give you the opportunity to witness the transformative power of sports and be a part of a truly remarkable community. Every volunteer leaves our events with a newfound sense of joy and a willingness to work hard to make Marana and the world a better place.

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

Through acts of compassion, selflessness, and kindness, our volunteers are able to help our athletes accomplish their goals.

Our volunteers help us cultivate an environment of inclusivity and compassion that extends far beyond our events.
