Athlete Leadership Program

Empowering athletes to be advocates for Special Olympics and people with intellectual disabilities

About the Athlete Leadership Program

The Special Olympics Athlete Leadership Program provides training for children and adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) to become advocates for Special Olympics and the ID community.

Athlete Leaders have the opportunity to learn about public speaking, speech writing and a variety of professional development skills. These lessons help Athlete Leaders take on influential roles within the organization and excel in their everyday lives.
