The Mission of Special Olympics
<Top>
The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports
training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports
for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them
continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate
courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills,
and friendships with their families, other Special Olympics athletes
and the community.
Who can participate?
<Top>
Individuals who are at least eight years old and have been identified
by an agency or professional as having one of the following
conditions: Intellectual disabilities or cognitive delays as measured
by formal assessment. These individuals are then required to
obtain a physical and a parent or guardian release form.
These forms must be kept current and on file with Lycoming County
Special Olympics program. It does not cost the athletes anything
to participate.
Why should I volunteer?
<Top>
Special Olympics volunteers come from all walks of life, all income
brackets, and all age groups. Although no experience is
necessary many bring specialized skills with them. Others sign on to
learn new things. Simply put, the volunteers do it all.
Whatever you interests, there are great volunteer opportunities for
you at Special Olympics. From the one-day volunteer to those
that can serve as coaches or committee members, your volunteer support
is needed.
