About Make a Difference & Change a Life

Special Olympics Northern California uses sports to jumpstart change and spark joy. Through the power of play, we unite people with and without intellectual disabilities to create more connected communities, both on and off the field.

The Power of Sports 

 Offering free, year-round training and competition opportunities in 11 sports, helping     athletes build confidence, form lasting friendships, and be a part of a team.

Unified Champion Schools®

Empowering youth and educators to be leaders of change by promoting inclusion and  acceptance in more than 575 schools, impacting more than 182,000 students.

Inclusive Health 

Individuals with intellectual disabilities deserve the same access to proper healthcare as anyone else. Special Olympics is a leader in inclusive health by offering free health screenings, resources, and equipment to athletes while working with healthcare providers to raise awareness about the specific needs of the intellectual disability community. 

Athlete Leadership

The Athlete Leadership Program provides training and opportunities for athletes to be advocates and create meaningful change. Athletes receive tools for public speaking, professional development and more while being empowered to take on leadership roles in Special Olympics and in their communities.
