Global Messengers

Global Messengers are Special Olympics athletes who are trained to speak in public about Special Olympics and the impact it has made on their life.

Athletes are paired with a family member who serves as their speech coach. Having athletes as spokespersons for Special Olympics is both dynamic and fun for the athlete and the audience. Who better to spread the word and spirit of Special Olympics than our Special Olympics Athletes!

Participants must possess a willingness to speak in a public forum and feel comfortable before an audience. The ability to read is helpful but not mandatory. For more information, please contact Donna Romero, Vice President, Family and Field Services at donnar@sonc.org or (925) 944-8801 ext. 215.
