Expectations for Special Olympics Volunteers

All student volunteers who signed up for the morning or all-day shifts should arrive on campus by 7:00AM on Sunday, October 18th. Please wear Pingree gear and sturdy footwear! With very few exceptions, this is a Rain or Shine type of event. Please come dressed for the weather! 


Our expectations of Pingree volunteers:

1. Experience instead of document - please separate yourself from your phone/camera. Be fully present!

2. Engage with our guests. Introduce yourself, ask how you can assist people, get to know your team and that team's fans.

3. Look for opportunities to serve instead of waiting to be asked.

4. Encourage and celebrate!

5. Be conscious of what you are learning while engaging in this activity. See if you can bring some of those lessons back to your family, friends, classes and extracurricular activities.
