Duties of Volunteer
Special Olympics is looking for volunteers for our Young Athletes Program. We have sessions each week at various GRPS elementary schools throughout the semester. Young Athletes is for kids with disabilities ages 2-7, and includes sports and other activities.
Our sessions are:
Monday, Kent Hills Elementary 1:30-2:30pm
Tuesday, Martin Luther King Academy 9:30-10:30am
Tuesday, Sibley Elementary 1:30-2:30pm
Wednesday, Ken-O-Sha Early Childhood Center 9:30-10:45am, and 1-2pm
Thursday, Ken-O-Sha VanAuken 9:45-11am, and 1:30-2:45pm
Thursday, Dickinson Elementary 9:30-10:30am
A typical session involves a warm-up activity or song, 4-5 stations (obstacle course, basketball drills, soccer, hockey, etc), and a cool down activity or song. Our volunteers will assist with each station and may need to work one on one with a few students who require additional help.
