Everyone wins when you volunteer!
Become a Volunteer
Volunteers are the backbone of Special Olympics Indiana! If you are looking to make a real difference in your life and the lives of others, look no further. Special Olympics Indiana needs you!
Whether you give your time year-round, seasonally or for a single-day event, volunteering is an experience you will remember forever. All volunteers receive a T-shirt when they check in at the event. We ask that volunteers wear this T-shirt during their shifts so they can be easily identified by our athletes and coaches.

Volunteer Spotlight
Linda
Behm
Special Olympics Indiana presents more than 15,000 medals and ribbons every Summer Games. As a member of the volunteer committee in charge of awards, every one of them passes through Linda’s hands. Summer Games flies by quickly for athletes. It’s a time of joy and competition. For volunteers such as Linda, it can be long hours and a lot of walking. “But it is the best time of the year,” she said. “My family knows that if they schedule something that weekend, I will not be there. That’s my weekend.”
