Mission Statement
Special Olympics goal is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for individuals with mental disabilities by giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
Description
Special Olympics is founded on the belief that people with developmental disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports, adapted as necessary to meet the needs of those with mental and physical disabilities. Volunteers are the backbone of Special Olympics programs. Our programs could not exist without the spirit and energy of our volunteers. Won't you join us?
