Special Olympics Florida – Collier County

Youth programs at Collier County public schools such as Young Athletes (ages 2-7) and Unified Champion Schools (middle and high) supply training, curricula, adaptive equipment, evaluation, culmination events, and local/state competition. Our Sports programs are bridging critical gaps in understanding intellectual disabilities and highlighting abilities, as well as introducing the unified concept of pairing athletes with partners without disabilities. Character building, mentoring, and understanding differing abilities are just a few of the outcomes our programs bring about. These are compassionate intrinsic values that build opportunity, acceptance, and a culture of health that last a lifetime for athletes, unified partners, coaches and administrators.
