How to volunteer

You can become a volunteer in two ways:

1

You can be a volunteer, that are driving your own project locally.

You can talk to us and we will support you with knowledge whenever you need it – and also the trainer / club that you get engaged in. 

2

You can get an education and follow our program for becoming a volunteer-specialsport-representative in your area, to guide families and create  more specialsport. 

You will 

  • participate in 4-6 online sessions
  • develop your first specialsport-team locally
  • learn about disabilities and barriers for sport

No matter the way you choose to volunteer, you will receive the needed materials for your work, but there will never be any kind of direct money transfer.

The goal of volunteering are solely to create access to specialsport for children with special needs and disabilities, also in your community.
