Polar Plunge (SEATTLE)

Freezin' for a Reason

Thank you for your interest in volunteering - our athletes appreciate your support!

 

STOP!  PLEASE READ THIS!!!  If you are a parent with a Youth ages 11-13, PLEASE simply create an account for the ADULT.  The youth will not be able to have their own account until they are 14.  DO NOT REGISTER FOR A SHIFT. Many of you are getting tripped up by the new portal and it's easier if we register for your group/family duo than to try and fix it.   PLEASE email your info to volunteer@sowa.org and WE WILL REGISTER FOR YOU - Include names, ages of any minors, cell phone, city of residence and date/event/role/shift info.  Thank you.  

 

Thank you again for volunteering!

 

Note that shift times are tentative - thank you in advance for your flexibility.

 

Registering is a two-step process: 1) Create your profile 2) THEN register for your desired volunteer shift. 

STEP 1:  Visit https://portals.specialolympics.org. 

• Click “Create an account” which will walk you through profile creation.  Note: Your email activation code will be sent from “Microsoft on behalf of Special Olympics B2C Production.” Please be sure to check your spam folder as well.

• If you've already created an account for a previous event, simply Sign In.  Welcome back!

 

STEP 2:  When on your personal “Volunteer Zone” landing page, select “Sign up for an Event”

 

PORTAL TIPS & TRICKS

• Register only for the shift(s) that you are committed to doing.  Do NOT register for every shift that you are WILLING to do.  We appreciate your flexibility and willingness to do whatever's needed but by selecting more than one role per shift, you're taking away the opportunity to register from others while we reach out to you individually to sort things out.

   

• Do you have a large group (10+ persons)?  Email volunteer@sowa.org to help find the perfect fit for your group - we'll even register for you!

   

• One page, step-by-step instructions can be found at:  Volunteer Webpage

 

If you have ANY difficulties registering, please email volunteer@sowa.org.  Thank you.
