About the volunteer role:
Assist in the assembly and setup of our approximately 20 bocce courts for the bocce tournament. Bocce courts are easily assembled and are fairly light- anyone who is able to bend, reach and lift 20lbs will be able to lift the court pieces. There will be a Special Olympics Maine representative present to demonstrate how to assemble the courts.
About the event:
Special Olympics Maine’s State Summer Games is our largest event of the year. Held at The University of Maine in Orono the event draws thousands of athletes, coaches, partners, spectators and volunteers. State Summer Games is over Friday, June 6 - Sunday, June 8 and has volunteer opportunities from morning till night! Many teams consisting of athletes and coaches stay the weekend in the dorms. Athletes participate in bocce and athletics (track and field) competitions. There are numerous special events like opening ceremonies, the parade of athletes, a dance, athlete village and more. It takes a village to seamlessly run this incredible event and we hope you’ll help to make 2025 State Summer Games our best event yet!
