Rewards of Volunteering with U.S.A. Paralympics
Volunteers are important to the success of USA Paralympic Sport! There are many roles which volunteers assume during meets and trials, including Athlete and Coach Credentialing, Hospitality Support, Media Support, Anti-Doping Support, Athlete Support, Timekeeping, Logistics, Cheerleading and Merchandise Support. USA Paralympic staff depend on conscientious volunteers who set-up facilities beforehand and break down afterward, provide information and directions about venue and accommodations to participants and spectators. Volunteers insure all participants check in for on-time arrival to compete, and keep time during heats.
Volunteers may transport assistive devices/equipment, enforce rules for Safe Sport that protect athletes, review rights and procedures with athletes selected for drug screening. Finally, volunteers listen and reassure anxious parents and athletes and graciously serve breaks and meals to officials and coaches.
Volunteers cite desire to share their talents and spirit with others. Many believe that by helping, one receives more than is given. THANK-YOU, Paralympic Volunteers! Your quiet work "behind-the-scenes" enables athletes to compete, striving for their personal best.
