Special Olympics NC - Volunteer Event Planner - Hickory

Do you love to plan and run events? Are you a logistical wizard? We need you!

Special Olympics North Carolina (SONC) is looking for individuals who can help plan and manage both athletic and fundraising events in the Hickory area. Working with the Volunteer Manager and local volunteers you would ensure events run smoothly.

SONC helps thousands of intellectually disabled individuals gain self-confidence, achieve personal goals, and have fun through athletic endeavors. Whether you have experience in event planning, networking, volunteer management, fundraising, or just have a little spare time and want to do good, we need your help making our athletes' dreams come true!

Our staff and existing management team will match your skills with SONC opportunities -- no prior Special Olympics experience is necessary. We will schedule a call or meeting to discuss the opportunity with you further; Special Olympics NC Orientation and training can all be done online.

Volunteer Training starts this January 26 for 1 hour during six sessions covering all the necessary Event Management topics.

Time Commitment: Typically one day in the Spring and Fall. Training and meetings in advance of and during events required as well.
