Become a Volunteer
Special Olympics Texas would not exist today and could not have been created without the time, energy, and dedication of thousands of volunteers.
More than 40,000 volunteers dedicate their time to help children and adults with intellectual disabilities achieve their dreams.
Our volunteers include students, senior citizens, business groups, professional individuals, civic organizations, families, amateur and professional athletes, and coaches to name a few.
