Teaming Up for Character x Special Olympics Guide:

In alignment with its national “servant leader” initiative, the NAIA has partnered with Special Olympics North America. The partnership provides our student-athletes with the opportunity to demonstrate the five core values of the Champions of Character® program by serving the needs of others first. NAIA student-athletes may participate in any existing Special Olympics events, create their own events, or provide support to Special Olympics through different initiatives.
