Uniting Our Communities

Our Mission 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, and skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
Our Vision is to promote acceptance, inclusion, and well-being for people with intellectual disabilities through sports.

Make a Difference in Louisiana

With your support, Special Olympics can transform lives through the joy of sport, each and every day. Every day we empower athletes to shatter stereotypes and exceed their personal bests on the playing field and in life. But for every inspiring Special Olympics athlete in Louisiana, there are 13 more people waiting for their chance –– and so many more around the world.
