National Volunteer Week

Celebrating SOBC’s life-changing volunteers who make waves across our province!

The theme for National Volunteer Week 2025 is Volunteers Make Waves. It highlights the power, impact, and importance of individual and collective volunteer efforts across Canada. Like a wave, volunteering is movement building.

Special Olympics BC’s dedicated volunteers pour their hearts into everything they do. From organizing year-round programs, to raising funds and planning events, to coaching athletes on the playing fields, Special Olympics volunteers are vital to the inclusivity, strength, and togetherness of our movement. They create much-needed spaces and opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities to find friendship, purpose, and community.

We are eternally grateful to all the Special Olympics BC volunteers who make waves with the generous gift of their time and talents!

During National Volunteer Week 2025 from April 27 to May 3, we come together to recognize and celebrate the importance of each and every volunteer’s impact from coast to coast.
