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
Within the vibrant landscape of Mesa’s SOAZ events, we have a diverse group of volunteers ready to form a vibrant support network for our athletes. From youngsters taking their first steps into the world of service to adults and seniors who’ve been volunteering for years, every volunteer brings their unique perspective and passion to the table. Their collective efforts infuse our events with a spirit of camaraderie and empowerment, propelling each athlete towards their personal best. Without the tireless contributions of these dedicated individuals, Special Olympics Arizona wouldn’t shine as brightly as it does today.
We appreciate the time and commitment of every member of our Mesa community who selflessly spend hours and days working to uplift and champion our athletes, demonstrating that even the smallest acts of kindness have the power to transform lives and communities.
Spirit of Giving
Within the SOAZ community, the bonds forged among volunteers, athletes, and supporters are the cornerstone of our mission. From the dedicated coaches who empower our athletes to the talented photographers who capture their moments of triumph, each individual plays a vital role in making our events a success. Together, they form a tapestry of support and encouragement that uplifts and inspires all who participate. The collective efforts of our volunteers, coaches, and supporters embody the spirit of unity and inclusivity, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie that transcends barriers and transforms lives.
We always have something interesting going on at Special Olympics Arizona: from training to competitions and countless other events, there are events to get involved with 365 days a year!
