About
Their mission is to give individuals with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community. The program is supported by individual donations, private and corporate sponsorships, state appropriations, grants, and special fundraising events. Their goal is to properly train special athletes by training their coaches first, with certification in Special Olympics coaching offered in all official sports. With a strong focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, Special Olympics Arkansas aims to bring traditionally excluded individuals and groups into processes and decision-making, sharing power and promoting fair treatment and equality of opportunity for all. They strive to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families, and they welcome support from the community to help them achieve their mission.
