Special Olympics North Carolina

2022 SONC Summer Games

Volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization and help make Special Olympics possible. There is always something to do! Whether you prefer to work behind the scenes or right out front there are opportunities for you to support the largest annual event for SONC athletes. The goal of Special Olympics is to create an environment whereby every person with intellectual disabilities is welcome, accepted, and included. Join the dignity revolution! Help advocate for a more inclusive community for people with intellectual disabilities by taking part in one of the many opportunities to make a difference!

Who? All are welcome to volunteer. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old to help! We welcome younger volunteers as part of our Spirit Squad at the Opening Ceremony.

Where? The Summer Games will be in various locations in Wake County. The locations are listed next to the sports on this registration page!
