Staff Volunteering
Volunteering is at the heart of the Special Olympics ethos and thanks to our dedicated volunteers we can fulfill our mission.
Our sports programme operates across Ireland so we are in a unique position to offer employee volunteering opportunities at a location near your office. These can range from one or two day local events to Ireland and World Games. Whether you are a small company or large organisation we have volunteer opportunities to suit.
