Special Olympics Hawaii consists of eight Area Programs and one Regional Program.  Our Area Programs are set up following the Department of Education School Districts.
  - Central/Honolulu Area:  from Haleiwa to Hawaii Kai
  - East Hawaii Area:  from Pohala through North Kahala
  - Kauai Area:  Island of Kauai
  - Leeward Area:  from Pearl City to Makaha

  - West Hawaii Area:  from North Kahala to Captain Cook

Each Area Program is coordinated by an Area Director that is an employee of Special Olympics Hawaii.  Area Directors recruit, train and supervise a volunteer Area Management Team.  This team is the driving force behind all of the activities that happen at the area level.  This management team consists of the following volunteer positions:
  - Competition :  organizes the competitions for the athletes
  - Families :  organizes activities for family members of our athletes
  - Finance :  takes care of all the financial obligations that an area program faces
  - Fundraising :  develops fundraising activities, writes grants, and develops 
    sponsorships to help the area program meet it’s annual budget
  - Medical :  coordinates medical forms that athletes must complete to train and 
    compete.  Also helps to set up medical staff at competitions
  - Outreach :  recruits new athletes to train and compete in our program
  - Public Relations :  develops PSA’s, articles, newsletters and flyers for
    publication in order to help promote Special Olympics within the Area
  - Training :  oversees the training of the athletes and the coaches within the Area 
    program
  - Transportation :  coordinates transportation to and from practices and helps
    to coordinate transportation to competitions, either through air or on island
  - Volunteers :  recruits and trains the hundreds of volunteers needed to provide
    the Special Olympics program in the Area

Local Delegations are the grass roots component to Special Olympics Hawaii.  This is where all of the training happens for our athletes.  There are over 50 active local delegations for Special Olympics throughout the State of Hawaii.  Head of Delegations are the people responsible for the organization and running of their own delegation/team.  They help to recruit the coaching staff that is so vital to running our program, work with the family members of our athletes, and deal with all the paperwork for registering an athlete for competitions.  Without these fantastic volunteers our program would not be able to exist.  For more information on specific types of delegations look at our Outreach Home Page .  To find out if there is a delegation in your town, go to our Contact Us  page and look up your Area Director.
