Dear Volunteer,
Welcome to the 2019 Summer Games registration page. This season, Special Olympics athletes throughout the Garden State are hard at work training in bocce, gymnastics, powerlifting, softball, swimming, tennis and track & field events. To volunteer for Summer Games, please complete the online registration in its entirety. Only select one (1) position per day if you wish to volunteer for multiple days. Once submitted you may review your confirmation and will also receive an email of your itinerary. Please know positions are on a FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS.
 
Age Requirement: Volunteers must be at least 14 years old with many positions requiring a minimum age of 16. Positions are not available for individuals under age 14. 
Please recognize that by submitting your registration, you are committing to volunteer for the duration of the event(s) you selected. If you are unable to commit to the entire time slot, do not register for that event. In the event you sign up and fail to fulfill obligations of staying for the duration, it may affect your status in volunteering for future Special Olympics New Jersey events.
