    I have been a volunteer with the local Special Olympics program for a little over a year now, and it has truly been one of the best experiences. I love being able to support and motivate the athletes to do their best and to just have fun being active. Special Olympics has also lead me to other opportunities I would not have known about before volunteering. For example, I recently applied to help volunteer at the Miss Amazing program in Sioux Falls coming up in a couple of months. Spread the Word to End the Word was also a local program I was able to be a part of thanks to Special Olympics.…

    I started volunteering as a partner for Special Olympics several years ago, partly because my family had been involved in caring for people with special needs all my life. Participating in sports with the athletes is very enriching because while volunteers do help quite a bit, it’s incredibly rewarding to help put smiles on the athletes faces and doesn’t feel like work at all.…

    Normally when someone thinks of volunteering at the Special Olympics, they probably think of the fact that it is community service and it is something that looks good on applications for a job or college. What they do not think about is how rewarding and incredible the experience actually is. Growing up, I had always been around mentally challenged adults and children because my mom works with them through Central Valley Regional Center as an intake counselor. When she asked me if I wanted to volunteer one year, I was excited and figured if anything, it would be a fun time. However, I had come to find out that it wasn’t just “fun”, it was a learning experience for me also. There is definitely much more behind it than just helping the athletes compete. It is an awesome opportunity to experience all the positive energy and personal achievement. Every year I find myself bonding and cheering on my peers whose challenges like Downs Syndrome or autism disappears between us while our main focus is on their events they compete in. Not many people take the time to volunteer or some just don’t even know how to go about doing so. I make sure to spread the word that it is open for anyone and everyone to volunteer their time. I choose to bring someone new with me every year to share the gratifying experience by my side in hopes that they can help spread awareness of this event and get others interested as well. That very first year of volunteering with my mom a few years back, there was an incident that took place that helped me right then and there, realize that I wanted to come back every year for the rest of my life. I left the event that day with a new appreciation for life, which I have continued to do every other time since then. The feeling of joy I get anytime the inspiring athletes are surrounding me will never fade.…

    According to the organization Learning to Give, more than 7.5 million Americans are currently suffering from an intellectual disability. Many do not realize how many are affected or even what an intellectual disability is. WebMD says that these disabilities are characterized by below-average intelligence or mental abilities. People with intellectual disabilities can learn and do new things, but they learn them much more slowly. People with these disabilities tend to be ignored, neglected and excluded from schools and society because many people do not realize the capability of those affected (The Special Olympics). Those affected are often underestimated; however, according to WebMD, a child with disabilities can improve by being involved in group activities. Over 200 causes of intellectual disabilities have now been identified, but it is important that those affected can experience activities like everyone around them (Meyer).…
