Become a Volunteer

We need volunteers for State Basketball!

We are currently recruiting volunteers for the Men’s and Women’s State Basketball Tournament, Saturday and Sunday, April 1-2, at the Pacers Athletic Center at Grand Park in Westfield. Help support our athletes by registering for one or more of the many volunteer positions available.

Almost anyone can volunteer! We primarily need people at high-school age and up, though children as young as 8 can also volunteer with their family. We provide on-site training, so no prior knowledge is necessary. We just ask you to bring your excitement and an openness to new experiences.

Everyone wins when you 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!
