The Special Olympics goal is to improve the lives of individuals
with intellectual disabilities through sport, by empowering
them both on and off the field of play and bringing them
into the larger society where they are respected and
accepted. Dare County Special Olympics is a
volunteer-driven organization. Whether you're interested in
coaching athletes, helping in fund raising, or coordinating
events, we have volunteer opportunities for just about
everything. Special Olympics athletes in Dare County
are never charged a fee to compete.
Any person with
developmental or cognitive disabilities or a combination of
the two, ages 8 and up may become a Special Olympic athlete.
Dare County Special Olympics is currently in need of a
swimming coach. If you are interested in coaching
swimming or volunteering in any way, please call
Jennifer Everett at
252-305-2551.
