Global Messenger Program

Special Olympics Global Messengers

Global Messengers are Special Olympics athletes who help spread the message and vision of the movement as well as the benefits they have gained by participating in Special Olympics. As leaders and message-bearers of the movement, Global Messengers communicate the powerful declarations of hope, acceptance, dignity and courage of Special Olympics athletes around the world. Only athletes can effectively relate the impact that the movement has had on their lives and the lives of their families.

The Sargent Shriver Global Messenger program, as part of Special Olympics Athlete Leadership Programs (ALPs), offers public speaking and presentation skills training to athletes interested in representing the movement.

If you would be interested in participating in the Global Messenger program as an athlete or a coach, or if you want a Global Messenger to do a presentation on Special Olympics to your group, contact Susan MacBryde at 800-836-6976 or e-mail smacbryde@nyso.org.
