    Description

    Do you love powerlifting and want to make a meaningful impact to your local community? The Special Olympics is looking for passionate, dedicated and knowledgable volunteer to join us as a powerlifting coach for local Special Olympics athletes.

    As a Special Olympics powerlifting coach, you will help local athletes learn and improve their powerlifting skills (deadlift, squat, bench press) by bringing game knowledge, enthusiasm, commitment, and a positive attitude to each practice, event and competition. You will meaningfully enrich the lives of our athletes in life-changing ways by building physical and social skills and instilling self-confidence.

    If you're a knowledgable powerlifter and have a few extra hours each month to help local intellectually disabled athletes learn, compete, grow and have fun, this is the opportunity for you!

    Exact location (Asheville area) and practice times will be coordinated with our staff.

    Only powerlifting knowledge required, we provide the training you need to be a successful coach!

    All coaches must be at least 18 years old to be a certified coach.
