Special Olympics BC – Nanaimo offers a winter sport (Oct – March) and summer sport season (April – June) to youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  Athletes practice once per week and train for Regional, Provincial, National and World Games.

Special Olympics BC seeks volunteers to coach and help out in sport programs during each season.

All volunteers must be 14 years of age or older, must live and/or work in BC and complete an RCMP Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Persons Sector; this is paid for by the agency. For more information about these opportunities, please contact Amy by phone: 250-252-0515 or via email: agibb@specialolympics.bc.ca.
