Ending discrimination against people with intellectual disabilities.
关于我们
OUR MISSION The mission of Special Olympics Colorado (SOCO) 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. OUR HISTORY & VISION Special Olympics was founded in 1969 on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports. Special Olympics believes that consistent training is essential to the development of sports skills, and that competition among those of equal abilities is the most appropriate means of testing these skills, measuring progress and providing incentives for personal growth. Special Olympics also believes that through sports training and competition, people with intellectual disabilities benefit physically, mentally, socially and spiritually; families are strengthened; and the community at large, both through participation and observation, is united in understanding people with intellectual disabilities in an environment of equality, respect and acceptance.

Meet Nia and Aleena! Together, they coach the Regis University Unified teams. They believe it's important to coach for Special Olympics Colorado and say it's the best part of their day getting to interact with athletes and create meaningful friendships.

When you give on Colorado Gives Day, you're helping us continue to provide resources and support to create more inclusive schools across the state. Give today and make a difference! ?? https://loom.ly/k9ty_xY #ColoradoGivesDay #GiveWhereYouLive #BeAChangemaker #COGivesDay #SOColorado
