Special Olympics Kansas Program Conference

–

–

Overview: The themes for this year’s program conference are self-advocacy (why it’s important for our athletes to be self-advocacy and how you can help them develop this skill) and health (importance of health and fitness beyond sports and strategies and programs you can deploy to help your athletes improve their overall health). In addition to breakout sessions around these topics, we will have two general sessions and a sports workshop. There is no registration fee for this conference. At a minimum, dinner on Friday, and lunch and a light social on Saturday will be provided at no cost to attendees.

–

Who should attend? Open to anyone involved with Special Olympics. The content is primarily for Local Program Coordinators, coaches and parents. They are not any athlete specific sessions but athletes are welcome to attend.

Travel Stipend: A $100 travel stipend is available for the first 20 local programs that RSVP.
