Volunteers are the backbone of Caledon Special Olympics. We are constantly looking for coaches and volunteers to work to provide sport and competition opportunities to our athletes.  Our volunteers organize, run and fundraise to provide our athletes the opportunity to participate in sport programs.

Volunteers fill a number of roles at the community level, which include head coach, coach and junior coach in addition to administrative team positions on community council. Parents and community members are encouraged to participate in volunteer activities that support and help our athletes succeed.
