Volunteers

The Special Olympics Healthy Athletes initiative offers basic health screenings and services to athletes at larger events and Games. These services are delivered by qualified medical staff in a fun and welcoming way.

If you are a health care professional, Special Olympics New Zealand needs you! The success of Healthy Athletes depends on time generously donated by volunteer health care professionals.
