- Pitch in as part of the SOA staff team at events, conferences, and retreats.

**What You Bring**
- Strong relationship-building and communication skills.
- Organizational skills and the ability to manage deadlines.
- Confidence with Microsoft Office/Teams and comfort learning new systems.
- A positive, adaptable mindset and willingness to take initiative.
- Event planning or fundraising experience is an asset (but not required — we’ll support your growth).

**What You Need to Know**
- This role includes some evenings and weekends.
- Travel within Alberta is required — a valid driver’s license and vehicle are essential.

**Why Special Olympics Alberta?**

We are part of a global movement that uses the transformative power of sport to open hearts and minds, build inclusive communities, and create lifelong opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities. When you join our team, you’ll be part of a supportive, mission-driven organization where your work directly changes lives.
