Volunteer with us

Special Olympics Indiana divides the state into County and Area programs. County Programs are led by volunteer committees that ensure year-round sports training and competition for eligible athletes. While each committee typically serves one county, there are some that oversee multiple rural counties or portions of urban counties. The appointed County Coordinator oversees the program's operations. Connect with your local coordinator to learn more!

IU Medical School Pilot Program

Michael

Drabik

IU Medical School Pilot Program - Many people are a bit anxious before going to a doctor. Imagine going to an appointment and the physician speaks quickly and uses language and vocabulary you have never heard! Imagine if the doctor never even makes eye contact when speaking to you. That is what it can be like for patients with special needs. Fortunately, the Indiana University Medical School plans to prepare future physicians to better understand how to treat patients with special needs. SOIN-Dubois County athlete, Michael Drabik, agreed to speak with medical students about best practices during patient exams and treatments.
