Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Special Olympics Texas - Central Texas Area hosts Coach Trainings throughout the year. If you are over the age of 15 and interested in sharing your talents with an athlete with intellectual disabilities, then we are looking for you! There is no cost to be trained and no experience is necessary.

We would love the opportunity to teach you how to work with the athletes of Special Olympics Texas.

Volunteers working on an ongoing basis with our athletes are asked to complete three steps prior to attending a coach training. They will need to complete a Class A Volunteer form completely and mail or scan and email the document to the SOTX Central Texas office. Additionally there are two brief online PowerPoint presentations to watch. These are called Protective Behaviors and General Orientation.
