We have updated our Volunteer Portal. Every level of volunteer will need to create an account to sign in, directions below. If you have volunteer certifications we have transferred over to your portal that’s connected by your email, any missing certifications please let us know. If we do not find them please note that you may have to redo that certification. If you have any questions that need immediate assistance please contact Maddy Alaluf for Volunteer inquires if you have Coach questions contact John Seals.
Without volunteers, Special Olympics Oklahoma would not exist. We depend on the time, energy and dedication of thousands of energetic volunteers to fulfill our mission. We are sure that your life will be enriched immeasurably as you become an important part of the Special Olympics family.
Who Can Become a Volunteer?
Our volunteer base includes students, senior citizens, business groups, individuals, civic organizations, families, churches, school groups and coaches just to name a few. In other words, ANYONE CAN GET INVOLVED!
There is no experience required; however, you must be at least 15 years of age, unless accompanied by an adult.
How do I become a Volunteer?
Special Olympics has three types of Volunteers — Class A, Class B and Groups. Each has different requirements as they represent different levels of involvement. Please see the corresponding explanations below:
Class A: Class A Volunteers include anyone who wishes to be a coach, assistant coach, chaperone, committee member, driver, medical, group lead, or Unified Partner. Because Class A volunteers will be spending a lot of one-on-one time with our athletes, we take extra precautions to ensure their safety.
Class A volunteers MUST COMPLETE THE STEPS IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:
- Complete a Volunteer Release Form
- Complete Protective Behaviors Course
- Complete (with satisfactory results) a background check through our selected third-party vendor.
Class B: Class B Volunteers are those who only wish to volunteer on the day of an event. To be a Class B volunteer, all we need is a completed Volunteer Release Form.
Groups: To volunteer as a group, you will need a group lead who completes Class A then group members complete Class B.
The Volunteer Registration Portal is a website where you can sign up to volunteer in Special Olympics Oklahoma events.
