Volunteers are the backbone of Special Olympics Massachusetts. Volunteers enable SOMA to offer sports training and competition programs to over 10,000 athletes in the state of Massachusetts on a year-round basis. SOMA could not exist without the tremendous support of our many dedicated volunteers.
Volunteers include students, business people, family members of athletes, corporate teams and many others. Volunteers fill a wide variety of roles for Special Olympics programs for coaching, area management teams, fundraising, timekeepers and judges.
