About This Opportunity

Volunteers are the backbone of the Special Olympics movement. Special Olympics Caledon provides year round sport opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.  Special Olympics would not exist today—and could not have been created—without the time, energy, commitment and enthusiasm of our volunteers. It’s about a spirit of giving and teamwork. It's about making the Caledon community a more welcoming and accepting place for people of all abilities. 


We are currently seeking volunteers to help lead and shape the Special Olympics community in Caledon. The Special Olympics Caledon Community Council acts as the local leadership group responsible for organizing, promoting, and managing Special Olympics programs at the community level. Council members meet once a month to discuss
