What Our Volunteers Say
I’m elated when my swimmers achieve their goals or have success…when I see them improve so much and I see the satisfaction and the glee it gives them, that’s big for me. To see that they can do something they initially thought they couldn’t do.
Sharon Wenrich
Swimming Coach
Volunteering with Special Olympics has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Seeing the athletes’ faces light up when they achieve their goals is priceless lorum.
Joe S.

It makes me really excited to see athletes achieve their goals. Because sometimes they don’t believe in themselves. But I do.
Bonnie Snyder

It’s taught me leadership. And how to value each individual more – their strengths and weaknesses.
