Volunteers with mild accommodating needs
At UPSA, we believe sport should be for everyone — not in spite of disability, but with it fully in mind. We're a Calgary-based non-profit working to remove the barriers that keep people with physical disabilities from experiencing the challenge, community, and joy of sport.
Our mission is simple: give athletes with physical disabilities real, ongoing access to adaptive sport, handcycling, para cycling, and adaptive Nordic skiing so they can train, compete, and belong. Our vision is a Calgary where adaptive sport isn't an afterthought, but a normal, thriving part of the athletic community, with the coaching, equipment, and volunteer support to back it up.
We can't do that alone. Every race day, clinic, and training session depends on volunteers who show up. Whether that's helping an athlete onto a handcycle for the first time, marshalling a course, or just being an encouraging face at the finish line. For a lot of our athletes, the moment they realize they can compete like any other athlete is life-changing, and our volunteers are the ones who help make that moment happen.
If you're looking for a cause where your time translates directly into someone's confidence, independence, and joy, where you can see the impact of your afternoon in real time we'd love to have you on our team.
