Giving your time and energy to support Special Olympics Arizona (SOAZ) community brings immense fulfillment and gives each of our volunteers the opportunity to positively impact the lives of others. Volunteering in Eloy gives participants the opportunity to contribute to their community and make a difference in the lives of their neighbors. Our community-centered events leave a positive impact on individuals and families impacted by special needs, but they will also leave a lasting impact on each volunteer who gets involved with SOAZ. Volunteers have the chance to connect with the Eloy community, learn more about individuals in their community, and have fun while serving others. Whether you are excited to cheer athletes on from the sidelines, you are looking forward to helping our planning and logistics team organize SOAZ events, or you are interested in providing emotional support to families, volunteers of all backgrounds and skills will find a place where they can make their impact within our organization. Athletic achievements are celebrated and we love to see our athletes accomplish their goals, but SOAZ is about so much more than just sports: it is about creating enduring bonds of friendship and acceptance within our community. By joining the SOAZ volunteer community, you’ll not only help support the continued success of our events but also create friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. The transformative power of sports will touch everyone involved, from athletes and their families to volunteers and our community. Becoming a volunteer is about more than giving your time and energy; it is about sharing your compassion with your community and spreading joy among your neighbors in Eloy and the world beyond.
We have events happening year-round at Special Olympics Arizona, so there’s plenty of opportunities for you to get involved! Whether you are looking for one event to volunteer at or you’re ready to make a lifelong commitment, we welcome you to our volunteer community and look forward to seeing you at our next SOAZ event in Eloy.

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
If you’re ready to make a difference in your community and your own life, getting involved with SOAZ is a wonderful place to start. SOAZ has a wide range of volunteer opportunities in Eloy that are excellent for newcomers and seasoned volunteers alike. Our volunteers have the opportunity to engage with athletes and their families, as well as the SOAZ team, their fellow volunteers, and other members of our community at our events. The meaningful connections and sense of inclusivity that are fostered throughout our events help make our community and world a better place. It’s amazing to see the joy on our athletes’ faces when they accomplish their goals but volunteering is rewarding for more than just our athletes: everyone who is involved with SOAZ will feel the profound impact of knowing you helped make a difference in the lives of those around you.
We welcome volunteers of all age groups: from children as young as 7 to teens, adults, and seniors, we are excited to have opportunities for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to get involved with our events. The unwavering dedication, energy, and enthusiasm of our volunteers helps carry our athletes over the finish line. We are so grateful for our community of volunteers in Eloy; without the selfless giving of their time and energy, SOAZ would not be able to leave the lasting impact on our community we are so proud of. Every contribution, no matter how modest, helps our team and our community make the world around us just a little more compassionate and joyful.
Spirit of Giving
Central to the mission of our organization is our commitment to changing lives, a mission that is wholeheartedly embraced by each and every volunteer who joins our community. Our athletes’ lives are changed when they feel the sense of belonging that is central to SOAZ events, when they are supported throughout their athletic endeavors, and when they are cheered across the finish line by a community that supports them inside and outside SOAZ events. The sense of compassion, kindness, and joy that can be felt through our events changes the lives of our volunteers; it’s impossible to leave one of our events without being profoundly impacted by our community of passionate individuals. Our volunteers make it all possible, serving as beacons of hope and inspiration and helping us to cultivate an environment of inclusivity and empathy within our community.
SOAZ in Eloy has volunteer opportunities available at all times of the year: from training sessions to competitions and plenty of other events, there are plenty of ways to get involved with SOAZ year round.
