Athletes

""
Athletes are the heart of Special Olympics. Our athletes are children and adults with intellectual disabilities from all around the world—5.6 million and counting! They are finding success, joy and friendship as part of our global community. They're also having lots of fun!

Youth Voices

Words have power and young people are using their voices to make that power count. Across communities and cultures, youth are speaking out against the use of the R-word and sharing how hurtful language affects their lives, their friendships, and their sense of belonging. Their stories are honest, personal, and rooted in a shared belief that everyone deserves dignity and respect. Hear their voices below as they call for understanding, inclusion, and a world where words are used to uplift, not harm.

Inclusive Leadership

First, we build leadership skills in athletes, so they have the opportunity to become leaders within the movement, their communities, and ultimately, teachers of inclusion. Then, through the Unified Leadership approach, athletes educate people without disabilities to improve their behaviors and practices creating more inclusive environments for all.
