How to Volunteer

Volunteer to Support EMS ISD TrailBlazers

Without the dedication of thousands of volunteers, our athletes would not be able to compete to their fullest abilities or experience the joys that come from participating in Special Olympics Texas. Anyone can volunteer; each person brings their own unique talents and contributions. From coaching to serving refreshments, each volunteer makes a difference. This is a life changing experience for our volunteers. Volunteering just one hour of your time each week will pay you back in a multitude of ways, many of which are priceless. You can also earn service hours for your school organizations.

Student Volunteers Under 18

Student volunteers under the age of 18 MUST fill out Unified Partners Volunteer form and return it to Emily Kasper.

Staff & Community Volunteers

Once completed and approved by Special Olympics, volunteers may help and support with practices and competitions. As a volunteer, you will not have to renew your application for another 3 years. You will need to complete the steps 1, 2, 4, and 5 on the Special Olympics Volunteering Website.
