SOForsyth Special Olympics

Mission:

To establish year round sporting and leisure activities for individuals with disabilities who live in Forsyth County and the surrounding areas.




Beliefs:

1. Forsyth County students with disabilities need more opportunities to participate in leisure and sporting activities.
2. The earlier a child gets involved, the more likely s/he will continue his/her involvement later as an adult.
3. Special Olympics and sporting/leisure activities are vital to the success of a student's transition to adulthood as it can positively enhance one's independence, social skills, health, and self-worth.
4. By increasing community awareness regarding students with disabilities and the need for leisure activities, the more they will embrace and expect year round activities within their community.
5. Getting involved in leisure and sporting activities will yield positive and rewarding experiences for the individual, his/her family and the community.
