 The Special Olympics Vermont is incorporated as a Vermont non-profit corporation [501(c)(3)] and is accredited every two years by Special Olympics, Inc. Through successful completion of this accreditation process, Special Olympics Vermont is officially recognized and agrees to abide by a set of general rules established by Special Olympics, Inc. In other words, we get to call ourselves Special Olympics, use the Special Olympics brand to recruit and raise funds, organize state tournaments, and participate at National and World Games competitions.

Special Olympics Vermont is a volunteer managed collection of community and school based teams from throughout Vermont with the sole purpose of providing sports training and athletic competition to persons with intellectual disabilities, ultimately changing their lives and lives and attitudes of hundreds for volunteers.
