About the volunteer role:
Volunteers for registration will assist with checking teams in which includes ensuring they have all the necessary paperwork in, that all registered members of their delegation (team) are present, giving coaches their information packets and directing them to the housing check-in (if applicable). There will be a Special Olympics Maine staff working registration with you to answer any questions or concerns from volunteers or coaches.
