The Disability Information and Resource Centre recently received the following information from Special Olympics Australia.
SPECIAL OLYMPICS NATIONAL GAMES
ADELAIDE APRIL 19 – 24TH 2010
Volunteers are now being recruited for the 2010 Special Olympics National Games to help make this a memorable event for all athletes and their families. More than 800 athletes with an intellectual disability will travel to Adelaide from all over Australia to compete in this event.
A team of 500 volunteers is needed to help out in all aspects of the Games, including logistics, spectator services, sport venues, opening and closing ceremonies, families and siblings activities, transport, accreditation, and volunteer management and training. Volunteers may also have an opportunity to take on a team leader role.
We are seeking volunteers who are available for all or part of the Games week, over 16 years of age, willing to attend training prior to the Games and to undergo a free National Police Clearance. In return we can offer training & support to be part of this national sporting event and the chance to gain valuable experience & skills.
