Special Olympics would not exist today without the time, energy, commitment and enthusiasm of its volunteers. As a grassroots organisation, Special Olympics Nigeria relies on volunteers at all levels to ensure that every athlete is offered quality sports training and a rewarding experience. Volunteers can get involved at the local, state or national level, or offer their services locally at an event in their community. Some volunteers offer a few hours of their time a year at specific events, while others work several hours a week year-round.
