We have programs for athletes of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens. We support athletes of all ability levels, routinely adapting our sports and competitions to provide great sports experiences for all types of athletes.

Athletes are why Special Olympics exists, but Volunteers are how we exist. Our Montgomery County programs are entirely run by volunteers, including our Area Director, our administrative staff, and all of our coaches, team managers, and officials. We are forever thankful for the contributions of so many to our athletes. If you want to join us, there are opportunities to coach, to support single-day events, to support our internal operations, and much more. Click on Volunteers to learn more.
Each year, we raise money locally to fund our programs. Major routine costs include uniforms, sports equipment, facilities, and event fees for State and National Competitions. SOMO does not receive any funding from Special Olympics Maryland or Special Olympics North America. You can support SOMO by participating in one of our fundraiser events, becoming a sponsor, or by making a donation. Click Support SOMO to learn more.
