Our Mission
Special Olympics Oregon provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children, youth and adults living with intellectual disabilities, giving them 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.
Our Vision
Every year, Special Olympics Oregon serves more than 5,000 individual children and adults with intellectual disabilities, the largest disability population in the state. Our programs and services provide our constituents with immense opportunities in life — yet nearly 100,000 more people could still benefit from participating in Special Olympics Oregon programs.
