Town of Chapel Hill, NC

Fun and Rewarding Experiences 

Volunteers enable Special Olympics Orange County (SOOC) to offer training and competition programs to ~300 individuals with intellectual disabilities.  Individual volunteers (and groups) can serve as coaches, officials, time keepers, media liaisons, administrative assistants, tournament helpers and other special event providers.  Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School students can receive student learning hours through the LetServe App.

To Volunteer with SOOC, the following Volunteer Application should be printed, completed, and sent/dropped off to the Chapel Hill Parks & Recreation office, 200 Plant Road, Chapel Hill, NC  27514.  Office hours are M-F, 8:30am- 5:00pm (closed Town Holidays). Forms can also be fax’d to 919-932-29223.  A drop slot is at the front of the building for after-hours drop off.  The application can also be scanned and emailed to clanigan@townofchapelhill.org

Once your application is received and reviewed, the SOOC Coordinator will contact you for a brief interview to discover your skill set.  Our athletes range in skill level from novice to very competitive, allowing coaches to find a team that suits their own knowledge and skill. For most sports, NO PRIOR SPORTS KNOWLEDGE is necessary.  Only enthusiasm, flexibility and desire to have fun!
