Special Olympics is a non-profit organization that aims to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a wide variety of Olympic style sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Along with providing athletic opportunities to Special Olympic athletes, Special Olympics also does a great deal of work to advocate for athletes and those with intellectual disabilities. In this episode, UNC - Charlotte student Zack Kearney sits down with long time Special Olympic advocate and volunteer, Carson Boykin, to highlight the local advocacy work being done for Special Olympics in our Charlotte, North Carolina community.
