Who We Are
Special Olympics Idaho is a statewide movement that champions inclusion, health, leadership, and community for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. While sports are at the core of what we do, our programs go far beyond the field of play. We give the skills to empower athletes, and transform lives. Whether participating as an athlete, Unified Partner, or Young Athlete, individuals gain rewarding experiences and opportunities to achieve their best, as well as being part of a community filled with inclusion.

Inspiring Strength. Elevating Idaho.
At Special Olympics Idaho, we focus on what our athletes can do—and the results are powerful. Through sport, individuals gain confidence, build friendships, and take on new challenges that extend far beyond the playing field. As they grow in strength and self-belief, so do the communities around them.
We support children and adults ages 2 and up in communities across the state, offering opportunities to train, compete, lead, and connect. From year-round sports to health screenings and school-based programs, we’re here to ensure athletes of all backgrounds have access to meaningful experiences that inspire growth and belonging.
There’s a place for everyone to get involved—and a reason to be proud of what’s happening in communities across Idaho. Come see the impact for yourself.
