Our volunteers are the heart, soul, backbone — and our key to success.
Many volunteers opt to share their love of outdoor recreation by becoming an instructor. Other opportunities include special event assistance, fundraising, and administrative support.
We are (almost always!) accepting new volunteers. Summer trainings are held in late May throughout June. Winter trainings are held in December and January. See the calendar below for details.

“I have loved TASP since the minute I became a volunteer last year. There is absolutely no substitute for seeing the joy an athlete feels when they accomplish something new. Special Olympics skiing last year was one of my favorite groups I have ever been a part of in my life.
