Volunteering with SASAPD opens the door to a fulfilling experience. Whether you’re passionate about sports, skilled in administration, or interested in media and event management, there’s a place for you within our vibrant team. Volunteers can contribute in various capacities, including:

• Assisting athletes during training and competitions.

Provincial-Level Volunteering

Volunteers can join SASAPD at a provincial level, working closely with local athletes, clubs, and events. Each province provides unique opportunities to get involved in disability sports, allowing you to make a difference within your local community. Provincial volunteering is an excellent way to see the tangible impact of your efforts while fostering inclusivity and growth in your region.

From working directly with athletes to supporting behind-the-scenes operations, there’s a role for everyone.
