Special Olympics Massachusetts

Our mission is to provide year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for all children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, prepare for entry into school and community programs, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in the sharing of gifts, skills and friendships with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

These athletes show that they can transfer these skills to their lives off the playing field. Follow their lead and be a game changer. Play, coach, or volunteer with Special Olympics. What do our athletes do? Through their Athlete Leadership, they change the way we all see the world. They do this by competing in sports, bringing schools together, taking responsibility for their health and wellness, and Special Olympics supports their efforts thought community events with our dedicated partners.
