“Special Olympics has taught me never to put a limit on anything and just shoot for the stars.”
Jake Roszelle, Special Olympic Athlete Leader
Special Olympics Nevada provides inclusive programs and opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities in the areas of sports, education, health, and leadership development. Our program participants (i.e., athletes) learn skills that build their confidence and self-esteem, making them valuable members of their community. Our “Unified” approach in our programs engages both people with and without disabilities in activities together, allowing us to elevate the abilities of those who are differently abled. Special Olympics Nevada’s work is helping to establish our region as a Leader in inclusive services.
