A swimming athlete poses for the camera next to her coach. Both individuals are standing next to the pool, holding a green kick board, and are smiling for the camera. The athlete is wearing a black one piece bathing suit and the coach is wearing a black Special Olympics Yukon Coach t-shirt.

Providing Lifelong Benefits

Special Olympics Yukon exists to serve the needs of people of all ages and all levels of ability, from the individual who will stay active for life, regularly participating in local sport programs, through to the athlete who will advance and compete at National and International competitions. For individuals with an intellectual disability, Special Olympics programs may be the only place where they have an opportunity to engage in their communities, and to develop leadership and life skills. For many, it is a gateway to confidence, empowerment, competence, and acceptance.

A male figure skater happily poses for the camera. His arms are stretched out wide and he is giving two thumbs up. He also has one leg out slightly with the edge of his skate on the ice. He is wearing a blue sweater and a black helmet.
