About us

Special Olympics is a global movement of people creating a new world of inclusion and community, where every single person is accepted and welcomed, regardless of ability or disability.

We are helping to make the world a better, healthier and more joyful place—one athlete, one volunteer, one family member at a time. Through year-round sports training and athletic competition and other related programmes, more than 4 million children and adults with intellectual disabilities in more than 170 countries, Special Olympics has created a model community that celebrates peoples' diverse gifts.
