Thank you for Volunteering for The National Wheelchair Games!

Come volunteer with us at the Minneapolis Convention Center for a day filled with excitement and competition.

We are excited to announce that The National Wheelchair Games co-presented by U.S. The Department of Veterans Affairs and Paralyzed Veterans of America, will be here in Minneapolis, from July 17- July 22, 2025!

The National Veterans Wheelchair Games is the world’s largest annual wheelchair sports and rehabilitation event solely for military Veterans living with disabilities. The National Veterans Wheelchair Games challenges Veterans to adapt independently in new communities. The event also provides opportunities for newly injured Veterans to rehabilitate using adaptive sports and connects them to other peers who use wheelchairs.

Volunteer with us and be part of a community that exposes Veterans to organized sports, encouraging them to seek available recreational opportunities within their communities, regionally, nationally, and beyond.
