Special Olympics Illinois’ Mission

Provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

Volunteers Needed!

We need 35-45 adults and students to work the Hospitality Tent to help greet our guests, and also help prepare and serve healthy snacks during one of the following three shifts:
