Information For Volunteers

For Stennis Space Center Special Olympics Only

There is no cost to become a volunteer, you are only donating your time! Volunteers can sign up to work with an athlete (one-on-one escort), assist with a sporting event or work wherever help is needed. The responsibilities as an athlete escort are as follows:

Athletes must be escorted at all times. You must be able to stay with your athlete until 2:30 p.m. (end of games).
Be courteous and friendly to your athlete and all others.
Support your athlete in competition (hugs are very welcome).
Assist your athlete with getting lunch and using the restroom (if necessary).
If you must leave your athlete for any reason, find someone to stay with the athlete until you return.

The SSC Special Olympics Committee thanks you for your time and looks forward to having you with us at this year's games.

Volunteer check-in will be at the Food tent located on the North end of BLDG 1100. Please be there no later than 8 a.m. See map.
