WE LOVE VOLUNTEERS!

Since it’s founding Arizona Senior Olympics has been primarily a volunteer organization.

With just a very small staff, ASO relies on volunteers who help in a wide variety of ways to bring this program of fitness and health to the seniors of Arizona.

You can be as involved as you choose to be, there are jobs that take a little time and some that take more, and they are all important.
