Volunteer with Special Olympics Texas

Special Olympics Texas would not exist today - and could not have been created without the time, energy, and dedication of thousands of volunteers throughout Texas.  Volunteers are the backbone of this organization; so on behalf of the athletes we serve across the state, thank you for your interest and commitment to our movement. The commitment shown by each volunteer is what makes us excel, but it doesn't go unnoticed. Check out our Volunteer Spotlight section, where we highlight volunteers from all over the state for their unbelievable dedication to our athletes.

More than 1.5 million individuals around the globe dedicate one of the most precious gifts to Special Olympics - their time. More 30,700 of those individuals volunteer right here in Texas.

What does a volunteer do?
You name it, they do it!  Special Olympics Texas is a volunteer-driven organization, which means that we need volunteers for just about everything.  Volunteers can assist at the events, coach athletes, help with fundraising, coordinate events, give office support, serve on committees and so much more!  For more specific descriptions of opportunities, refer to the Volunteer Roles page.
