Volunteers are the backbone of Special Olympics Massachusetts. Volunteers enable SOMA to offer sports training and competition to over 11,000 athletes in the state of Massachusetts on a year-round basis. This assistance ultimately helps the organization develop individuals with intellectual disabilities into healthy and health-conscious athletes. SOMA could not exist without the tremendous support of our many dedicated volunteers.
Volunteers include students, business people, family members of athletes, corporate teams and many others. Volunteers fill a wide variety of roles for Special Olympics programs through coaching, as members of event planning committees, by fundraising, and as timekeepers, officials, special events volunteers, and a variety of other roles at local, regional, and state-wide events.
For more information on all the volunteer opportunities that exist with Special Olympics Massachusetts, please contact Martha Dove via e-mail, or by phone at 508-485-0986 Ext. 219. Click here to sign up for our E-Newsletter, our monthly e-mail newsletter which highlights events and volunteer needs.
As of November 1, 2007, all Class A Volunteers (coaches, Unified Partners, games management team members, and medical volunteers) as well as SOMA Staff must complete protective behavior training before they may volunteer at an event. Please click here to begin the training.
