Volunteer Check-In on Game Day 

VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE: When you arrive at your assigned Volunteer Check-In Station, you will be required to present a photo ID. Since we work with a very vulnerable population, it is important that we can verify who you say you are. If you are under 18 years of age and do not have a photo ID, another registered adult who knows you will be required to vouch for you. Group leaders who accompany student groups, etc, will be responsible for checking in and vouching for group members.

In addition to presenting your photo ID, you will be required to sign-in. By signing in you agree to be responsible for conducting yourself in a positive, helpful manner and give Special Olympics permission to use your likeness, voice and words in television, radio, film or in any other form to promote Special Olympics. 

Now roll up your sleeves and join the magic! The gift of your time and talent makes all the difference in the lives of our athletes.
