Special Olympics Ontario is a volunteer-based organization. Currently, there are more than 7500 volunteer coaches, club managers, fund-raisers and administrators providing sport programs for over 17,000 athletes in Ontario. These outstanding volunteers provide technical support for the sport training programs and competitions, manage administrative support services, and host fundraising events. The success of SOO sport clubs and programs depends on the dedication of these dedicated volunteers. Listed below are two general areas in which the talent, skills, and expertise of volunteers are used effectively within Special Olympics at a community, regional, and/or provincial level.
