Area Programs

Special Olympics New Jersey is made up of Local Training Programs (schools, agencies, clubs) that are part of Areas, defined as a geographic area of one or more counties. Each Area has an Area Director and an Area Management Team. The Area is responsible for offering Area level competition in as many sports as possible and assisting, where necessary, in athlete training opportunities.
