The Special Olympics Iran Board of Trustees calls on the required individuals from the volunteer bank for each program and uses them according to their expertise.
Trainers and specialists
The Special Olympics coach must keep in mind that his athletes are unique and their training requires comprehensive awareness. Athletes should be seen as human beings with their own unique characteristics, regardless of their disabilities. Training programs include enjoyable and joyful parts. A coach may be a teacher, family member, volunteer, or any other interested person in the field of Special Olympics. To work as a coach in Special Olympics, one must go through the following steps: visiting Special Olympics Iran, participating in the first Special Olympics training workshop, participating in special programs of interest and receiving the relevant certificate, submitting an application to Special Olympics to work as a coach.

This organization is only responsible for inter-sectoral coordination and, as the coordinator of the programs, is trying to increase the connection between specialists and implementing organizations in the country with Special Olympics athletes.
