Volunteers are a critical part of the Special Olympic program and Area M is no exception. Volunteers vary in age and background and everyone has something to offer. The surprise comes when the volunteers find that they get so much back from the time they give program. “How can you not feel better when the smallest athlete in the race finishes last; with her arms in the air, a smile on her face, and the words ‘I did it!’ the first thing she says! It makes you feel incredible,” said one volunteer. And everyone you talk to agrees.
