We're recognizing 7 unique volunteers for Volunteer Week. Read about the impact each of these volunteers have had on our athletes.

While we can’t host our Summer Games at the University of Richmond, it is time to get back in the game… or in this case, the Summer Series.

Join us April 26th and April 27th for our Youth Empowerment Summit. This Youth Summit will focus on giving students the tools to being empowered youth leaders in their school communities.

We’ve been dreaming of this moment since last March. It’s time to get outside and have some fun!

Special Olympics Virginia has partnered with ABLEnow to give away a new tablet – perfect to connect with friends, track your home workouts, and manage your money with the new ABLEnow mobile app.

We’re offering age-appropriate videos promoting inclusion of people with differences. Picture books and student profiles highlight how people turned their experiences with isolation into inclusive opportunities.
