Supporting
Special Olympics
Supporting Special Olympics is unique in that we are
the first college or university in the country to have
our own Special Olympics chapter. Our organization works
with Milwaukee Public Schools and places student volunteers
at sites as coaches throughout
the year. Coaching requires a 2 hour commitment
a week for as long as the sport runs (8-10 weeks). As
an organization, we also host one-day events, including
an annual soccer tournament in the spring. We have something for everyone,
no matter what your time commitment or physical skill
level is. Meet new people and become inspired by truly
amazing athletes.
