Today, I volunteered with Special Olympics Nebraska at the State Cornhole Games. Throughout this volunteer journey, people constantly ask which experience has been my favorite, and this one was hands down at the top. I got to hand out medals to athletes absolutely full of joy, and even jumped in as an announcer for part of the event.

On this episode, we interview @nmosser13 who was an intern for Special Olympics Nebraska (SONE) this past summer. Neal shares what his experience was like working with SONE, from having his second week on the job be Summer Games to helping put on summer camps for athletes.
But Neal’s involvement with people with disabilities began even before his internship with SONE. During his senior year at Millard North High School, Neal worked as a para for one of the students. Through that experience, Neal built a strong friendship with the student and gained a deeper understanding of the impact that working with and supporting people with disabilities can have.
Neal talks about how these experiences have impacted him personally and why he encourages others to get to know the athletes, volunteer, and become involved with Special Olympics. Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts Spotify and @sonebraska YouTube channel. #specialolympics #choosetoinclude
