Welcome Back, Returning Volunteers!

Thank you for your interest to return as a volunteer with Special Olympics BC! Returning volunteers have the option to register online through the Special Olympics Canada portal or register using a registration form.

This process must be completed annually.

Option 1: Register Online
Returning volunteers can re-register on the Special Olympics Canada portal by logging into their portal account or creating a portal account. Submitting your registration does not automatically mean you’ll participate in everything you signed up for. Once your community received your registration, you will be contacted with next steps.

Option 2: Register Using a Registration Form

Register as a returning volunteer in two steps:
