Rhythmic Gymnastics Manitoba

Special Olympics Manitoba (SOM) provides sport for Manitobans with an intellectual disability. We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated volunteers from Winnipeg and Westman Regions to help coach our athletes in Rhythmic Gymnastics from October to May. SOM benefits greatly from the presence of volunteers within our programs, and in turn, our volunteers gain valuable transferrable skills and experience, while knowing they are making a difference in their communities and having fun! Apply to become a volunteer TODAY! No experience required and training is provided. Must be able to commit 1 to 2 hours once a week and some weekends for competitions. Screening is part of the application process. For more information and to fill out an application form, please visit our website at www.specialolympics.mb.ca. You can also contact the Special Olympics Manitoba provincial office at 204.925.5628 (Toll-Free 1.888.333.9179) or som@specialolympics.mb.ca.
