Volunteers are the life blood of Special Olympics Wyoming!

Special Olympics Wyoming values and has the utmost respect for the role of the volunteer in making this organization successful and in helping it fulfill its mission.

The volunteers of Special Olympics Wyoming perform a multitude of tasks.  They take on a vast array of responsibilities and continue to dedicate countless hours to the program.

Volunteer Positions at the Area and Local Level:

Games Management Team
The Games Management Team organizes and facilitates Special Olympics Wyoming’s state competitions, including Summer Games, Fall Tournament and Winter Games.  They can participate in the administration, support services, competition or special event fields through the Games Management Team.

There are two types of volunteer opportunities...

Class “A”
An “A” volunteer serves as a coach, chaperone, driver or overnight host and has regular close contact with Special Olympics athletes.  Additionally, anyone who may volunteer for administrative or fiscal duties such as Management Team Members, Event Directors and Board Members are considered “A” volunteers.

Class “C” Volunteer
“C” category volunteers are single event, one-day or walk-on volunteers.

A background check will be completed for each Class “A” volunteer with Special Olympics Wyoming.  A Criminal History Inquiry will be made to the State of Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation along with a check of the National Sex Offender Registry. These inquiries will be completed every three years to ensure the safety of athletes and other volunteers.
