Volunteer for Special Olympics at Perfect North

The Cincinnati Ski Club has been supporting the Special Olympics Winter Games for the last 28 years. We volunteer as ski partners and course workers for the 300+ Athletes who participate locally. It’s a great experience for our Ski Club Members and an essential part of the games themselves.

 

Some of the Athletes have never been on skis before… so to teach them in three sessions to negotiate a slalom course and see them win a medal – well you can’t imagine what a great feeling that is for the Athlete and everyone involved. We need volunteers to help both on and off skis. You get a lift ticket and lunch and go home with a warm heart. We especially need help on the weekday dates. All events are at Perfect North Slopes – For the best experience do all three days of State Finals to see your Athlete win a medal.

Wednesday January 11, 2012 Ohio one day all events 9:30am–3:00pm

Thursday January 12, 2012 Kentucky Area 7 one day ski events 9:00am-4:30pm
