The coach/volunteer orientation and online protective behaviors trainings are mandatory for all Class A volunteers. Coach/volunteer orientation, commonly referred to as CVO is a 1.5-hour, entry-level training class required for all class a volunteers. A Class A volunteer is any volunteer who has regular contact with athletes through roles such as coach, chaperone or administrative authority.
Coach/volunteer orientation contains information on the mission, history, organization and sports programs of Special Olympics, along with athlete eligibility. CVO is free and includes an introductory handbook, and is the pre-requisite for level 2 or 3 coach certification.
If volunteers do not already have a completed coach/volunteer application on file with their county coordinator and the state office when they attend CVO, they must fill one out at the training. It is required that all class a volunteers register with the state office and their county program through a coach/volunteer application, signed by the county coordinator. Upcoming CVO trainings are posted on Special Olympics Indiana’s events calendar.
