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.
