Competing is not as special without fans - and that goes for any sports competition, including Special Olympics. Our athletes have trained hard and deserve a crowd that's just as passionate as they are. So come cheer your heart out!
Volunteer 2 Cheer is a flexible volunteer opportunity designed to promote unity and encourage colleagues, friends and families to come together as a group and show their support for Special Olympics athletes.
YOUR Impact: Not all athletes have families and friends that are able to travel to each competition and show their support in person. This is where you come in. Imagine the feeling an athlete has with a crowd of supporters behind them? Wave signs, clap, make up chants, and let the athletes know they are supported!
How it works:
- Rally a group of your coworkers, peers, friends and family to attend an upcoming event. (Click here to find one near you)
- If there is a shift to register for a Volunteer 2 Cheer role - please do! (For example: Summer Games). OR simply show up to an event!
- Fans of ALL ages are welcome and encouraged to be involved. This is a great role for families and young children that may not be able to do a competition/sport volunteer role.
- Get your cheer on! Bring posters, positive vibes, clappers and all the excitement you can!
