VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION
Classes are scheduled at the beginning of each sports season. Email Beth Greenberg at bjb410@comcast.net for more information. All those interested in volunteering and who have not yet attended a Volunteer Orientation, are required to attend a Volunteer Orientation class before working directly with Special Olympic athletes. Individual volunteers must be 14 or a freshman in high school. (A limited number of volunteer opportunities are available for younger volunteers when participating as a group and under adult supervision.) Additionally, those families who are new to our program are strongly encouraged to attend a volunteer orientation as well. The orientation will give all those who attend a better understanding of what SOHC has to offer as well as our goals and needs. All those needing to attend are requested to fill out the volunteer factsheet and forward to Beth Greenberg, Volunteer Coordinator-Special Olympics Howard County.
