Volunteering for Special Olympics Utah brings your employees, colleagues and clients together for one purpose — inspiring greatness in Special Olympics athletes. But Special Olympics Utah volunteers not only inspire the athletes, they’re also inspired by them.

Whether you help as a day-of-event volunteer or take on a longer assignment as members of the Games Management Team, we can help provide rewarding workplace engagement.
