Club General Volunteer for Coleraine Cougars Special Olympics Basketball Club

This role is essential to the running of every club.  A general volunteer assists with tasks such as:
 

• Support and supervision of athletes during activities
• Registration of athletes and volunteers
• Supporting members of the club management team
• Attending Special Olympics Events and Competitions

Volunteers play a vital role in Special Olympics at all levels and even just 1 hour a week will give a meaningful contribution.

Special Olympics Ireland is a volunteer-led sports organisation for children and adults with an intellectual disability. We welcome your involvement and contribution as a volunteer to help change the lives of Special Olympics athletes in their local communities across the island.  As a volunteer, you enable athletes to achieve, develop, learn new skills, make friends and realise their full potential. 

Volunteering is fun and rewarding. You will receive personal satisfaction by contributing to your community, enhancing and using your skills for the benefit of others, and you will enjoy the camaraderie of being part of the Special Olympics family. 

Who can volunteer?

We love to hear from potential volunteers with various skills, abilities, and interests. For some specialised roles, we look for experience and qualifications but for most roles, we ask you just to bring your energy, good humour, and common sense. Anyone, aged 15 or above, can apply.

All applicants 16 years or older, are required to complete vetting and Safeguarding training before they can become a Special Olympics volunteer.
