Special Olympics Urban Programs
Support the Urban Programs!  This is an opportunity for the community to be part of something exciting. We welcome the entire City of Richmond & Petersburg, local universities, and neighboring agencies. For additional information please contact Floyd E. Miller II, Director of Urban Programs at 804-346-5544.
A large group of adult residents having intellectual disabilities in the City of Richmond lack the opportunity to participate with Special Olympics. Currently, the Urban Programs is assisting five local City of Richmond adult residential and group homes with providing local training and competition to its residents. It is projected that over 400 adult residents will participate in several local Special Olympics events during the year.
To offer your help and support contact, Richard Levy, Adult Local Coordinator at 804-358-2211
