The 2022 National Volunteer Week theme is Volunteering Is Empathy In Action. This is a perfect fit for Special Olympics BC's caring and compassionate volunteers. They so generously give their heart and skills to benefit Special Olympics athletes, programs and the movement as a whole.
Special Olympics BC's dedicated and selfless volunteers empower athletes, make year-round programs possible, and open hearts and minds to the abilities of people with intellectual disabilities. We could not be more grateful to all the volunteers who give so much heart to Special Olympics BC and create inclusive communities!
Volunteering, putting empathy into action, builds communities where people feel happier, healthier, and more welcome – creating a stronger, more connected Canada.
