Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation: Empowering Youth, Building Healthy Communities and Promoting Inclusion

As we embark on a new year, the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation (UOLF) remains committed to its mission of enriching the lives of youth in our communities. Our focus on healthy communities, Latinx inclusion and youth scholarships continues to drive us forward. We're excited to share our progress and vision for the year ahead.

Empowering Youth Through Sport 

At UOLF, we firmly believe in the transformative power of sports. With childhood participation in physical activity and organized sports dwindling at alarming rates, we are more dedicated than ever to instilling a lifelong love of physical fitness and healthy lifestyles.

Whether it's through providing physical education classes and camps to students at McPolin and Treasure Mountain -ensuring free/reduced lunch children can participate in our introductory sports programs - or actively working to achieve 20% Latinx participation in our initiatives inspired by the Solomon Fund, UOLF stands as a beacon of support for all our youth.

Our programs regardless of race, gender, ability level, or economic background  nurture essential social, emotional and leadership skills in children that they carry with them throughout their lives.

Expanding Our Reach

Through strategic partnerships with local school districts, we are making a significant impact on the lives of young people in our Olympic venue communities. Our sport-centered camps, classes, and development programs have expanded to include Learn to Sport, cross-country skiing, skating, biathlon, Multi-Sport (offering activities like swimming, pickleball, bouldering, gymnastics, karate and more), and our G-Force Skeleton program.
