ROOTED IN COASTAL COMMUNITIES

Special Olympics Southern California (SOSC) Region 1 serves communities across San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties through programs that bring people together and celebrate inclusion. Our regional team and volunteer leaders are deeply connected to the athletes, families, and partners who make this work possible. Along the Central Coast, where communities are close and support runs deep, we work to ensure that every athlete has the opportunity to grow, compete, and belong.
