Volunteers are the backbone of the Special Olympics. They are coaches, trainers, officials, event organizers, fundraisers and managers. They can also be unified partners—playing alongside athletes or fans cheering in the stands. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Penny Hodgson, Local Coordinator - 330-627-6555.
