Church provides volunteers for Special Olympic World Games (2023)

Over 700 young adult members and friends of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered in Berlin for a Europe-wide service conference, centred on volunteering at the 2023 Special Olympics World Games.
The Church in Europe provided accommodation, food and social activities for all conference participants, which included members and friends of the church from age 18 to 35. The Special Olympics organization provided public transportation, shuttle services, volunteer equipment, training, and assignments to over 21 volunteer roles. Volunteers could either participate over a five-day period or the entire time.
The Special Olympics World Games are the world's largest inclusive sporting event, with some 7,000 athletes with disabilities competing in 26 disciplines. Over 12,000 volunteers from around the world assisted in the games this year.
What are ways that you can volunteer in your community?

What a wonderful initiative! Definitely there should be more involvement like this one.

I loved every second of it. Service is the best example on how Jesus Christ ministered and showed loved. I’m looking forward for more experiences like this one 🤍

I want to meet these people in person once in my life, because I want to show them disrespect in the name of Tommy Lasorda, Ernie, Banks, Willie Mayes, Stan, Musial, and Ted Williams, because these were people who were all about the real, Sports, and not these legitimate sports programs!.
