The Special Olympics Colorado Polar Plunge presented by Westerra Credit Union is the "coolest" event in town and a great volunteer opportunity for individuals, families and groups. Volunteers are needed to help in a variety of areas including event set-up (both day of and day before event) and event tear-down, volunteer and event registration, greeters, working the hot chocolate and snack bar, and more. There is certainly an opportunity for everyone! The event takes place outdoors in March, so make sure you dress in layers and warm clothing!
It may be "chilly" outside, but we hope the knowledge that you are supporting our amazing Special Olympics Colorado athletes keeps you warm!!
Volunteer shifts are between 2 and 5 hours each, with the earliest shift beginning at 7:30 a.m. and the latest shift concluding at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 4th at the Boulder Reservoir.

Mission Statement
The mission of Special Olympics Colorado (SOCO) is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendships with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
Description
Special Olympics was founded in 1969 on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports. Special Olympics believes that consistent training is essential to the development of sports skills, and that competition among those of equal abilities is the most appropriate means of testing these skills, measuring progress and providing incentives for personal growth. Special Olympics also believes that through sports training and competition, people with intellectual disabilities benefit physically, mentally, socially and spiritually; families are strengthened; and the community at large, both through participation and observation, is united in understanding people with intellectual disabilities in an environment of equality, respect and acceptance.
