VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
The South East Consortium values the relationship it
has with volunteers and fully understands and appreciates the contribution
it represents to both our participants and the volunteer(s). Volunteers
are an integral part of our success. The expertise, experience
and energy our volunteers bring to our many diverse programs has proven
to foster more efficient and effective programs for participants of all
ages.
Volunteers need to be at least 14 years of age. Depending
on the extent of a volunteer's involvement, an intake orientation and
criminal background check may be required. All volunteers will
work under the supervision of a salaried staff member.
If you have some time to give and an interest in supporting
an invaluable program, we always need help staffing athletic programs,
wellness/movement programs, creative arts programs, social events,
and several different special events.
We welcome any serious high school student who needs
to fulfill a community service obligation for school. Also, if
you are interested in becoming a certified Special Olympics coach to
work with our sports programs, we will provide the sports specific training.
