Special Olympics Leadership team. Athletes who want to advocate for themselves and other Special Olympic athletes. They learn to do public speeches, computer and money skills, promote Programs offered by Special Olympics and have the opportunity to become coaches. We have 15-17 athletes in our program and beyond the above they help with fundraisers and they even adopted a road in New Port Richey as their effort to give back to the community! Special Olympics Florida provides year-round sports training and competition to children and adults with intellectual disabilities, at no cost to the athlete or their caregiver as a means to achieve physical fitness, self-esteem and the life skills necessary to be productive, respected and contributing members of their communities.
