Social Media Workshop

Unlocking the Power of our Special Olympic Athletes: Social Media Workshop

Join us on October 24th for an extraordinary workshop that's set to make waves in the Special Olympics community! In this immersive session, we'll coach Special Olympics athletes on harnessing the potential of social media to share their journeys to the Games.

Becoming Champions of Their Stories 

Our mission is simple: empower our inspiring athletes to become the champions of their own narratives. Through this workshop, they'll learn the art of storytelling and how to navigate social media platforms and how to promote themselves in a safe, impactful, and engaging manner.

From Athletes to Influencers

We'll equip them with the tools to transform into their own influencers, allowing their unique experiences and passions to shine brightly. By doing so, they'll raise greater awareness for Special Olympics while also garnering the support to help raise funds to send them to the games!

This workshop will take place on October 24th, 7:00 - 8:00 pm and is open to all of Team O!

Since it is also close to Halloween - feel free to come dressed in your costume!

August Monthly Fitness Challenge Recap

Get Walking!

Thank you to everyone who participated! You all look marvellous!

September Monthly Fitness Challenge

Get Stretching!

This month's fitness challenge focuses on stretching!

Stretching helps to lengthen your muscles and increase blood flow. This increase in blood flow brings nutrients and oxygen to the muscles, which helps them to repair and recover from the workout. In addition, stretching also helps to release tension from the muscles, giving you a more relaxing and enjoyable workout.

Your challenge is to do a morning warm-up stretch routine every day! Follow the video linked below!

Please submit any fun photos from the challenge and they will posted in the next newsletter!
