RIVERSIDE FANS
Riverside FANS (Friends, Allies & Neighbors) gives volunteers a chance to connect with the people we serve. Have a particular skill to share? Want to coach a Special Olympics team? No matter your interest, we have a volunteer opportunity for you. And if not, we will create one just for you!
Our volunteer opportunities are tailored to each person and no contribution is too small. This individualized approach allows you to choose an area of service that suits you and your schedule and provides you with a rewarding experience.
Want to be a Riverside FAN? Join our email list and receive our monthly newsletters. Once you are ready to start volunteering, fill out our FANS Application. If you have questions, please contact us.

FANS Resources
Make the most of your FANS experience and access our volunteer resources, email lists and more.
Our services are enhanced by the support of the Miami County community. If you are an individual or a community organization looking to partner with us, we would love to hear from you!
The ways you and your organization can partner with our agency are many.
Sometimes those we serve need household items like beds, couches or window A/C units. They may also be interested in getting more involved with their community and making new friends.
Other times, our Special Olympics programs could benefit from new uniforms or other equipment.
