Unleashing Potential
Through year-round training and competition, Special Olympics New Hampshire creates opportunities for confidence, connection, and inclusion — one athlete, one coach, one community at a time.
Our Mission
The mission of Special Olympics New Hampshire (SONH) is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community.
Where Ability Shines
At Special Olympics New Hampshire, sports are more than competition — they’re a catalyst for confidence, health, and belonging. Every practice, every race, every high-five showcases what our athletes can do — and reminds us that ability always outshines limitation.
With 20 Olympic-style sports and year-round opportunities, athletes of all ages across the Granite State are building strength, forming friendships, and inspiring inclusion in every community they touch.
Here, the spotlight isn’t on disability — it’s on determination, courage, and joy. Because when everyone is included, everyone wins.
Meet the SONH Family
Every story is different — but each one shares the same spark. From athletes achieving personal bests to coaches, volunteers, and families who make inclusion possible, these stories capture the heart of Special Olympics New Hampshire.
Together, they show the power of sport to build confidence, friendships, and communities where everyone belongs.
