As Vice President of Mission Integration at Special Olympics Pennsylvania, Chelsea Hammell elevates the athlete and volunteer experience. She spearheads initiatives that transform the organization through digital innovation, significantly enhance athlete health and well-being, and empower athlete leaders to become respected community contributors.
For Chelsea, this mission is profoundly personal. Witnessing the joy, confidence, and belonging that Special Olympics provides is incredibly rewarding, and it’s a core part of her family’s everyday life. With her husband serving as a Unified Partner, their young children are growing up immersed in the spirit of Special Olympics, learning firsthand that people are people and everyone deserves to be celebrated for their abilities. This deep personal connection fuels her passion and dedication to fostering an inclusive and empowering environment for all.
