Our mission is to unite college students and people with developmental disabilities to enhance their lives through sport, friendship, advocacy and other activities. We run a Young Athletes program for children ages 2-8 with developmental disabilities. The goal of Young Athletes is to work on gross motor skills to help prepare the children for participation in Special Olympics when they are old enough. We also support UNK United Intramurals.
