Special Olympics Maryland's Virtual MOVEment was our solution to the COVID-19 pandemic and you, our users, are the most essential part! In our new virtual environment, user-generated content is what we love the most. We love showcasing the videos our athletes, coaches, volunteers, and even SOMD staff members have created, showing how they are staying active and healthy from home! If you are new to social media, video filming, or just don't know where to start, check out how to get involved with our Virtual MOVEment below!
Fan in the Stand
Fan in the Stand is our intro engagement level. If you are brand new to the virtual world, test the waters before diving in.
On the Roster
Level two! If you are comfortable with the virtual world but aren’t in it too often, you are On the Roster.
Team Captain
If you are very comfortable with social media and use it frequently, you are one of our Team Captains!
MVP
MVP = Influencer! You love the virtual world and are very comfortable filming your own videos for social media.
Fan in the Stand
If you are still finding your footing with social media, Zoom, FaceTime, and all of the other virtual platforms out there, you are a Fan in the Stand! A typical fan likes to support group members, would rather listen in on a discussion than lead one, and might not be that comfortable on camera – and that's 100% OKAY! Try to do 2-3 of these tasks this week. We think you'll be on the roster in no time!

They want to share how they stayed active and healthy in the group a couple of times a week and are always ready for a challenge. Are you a Team Captain?

MVP
You've probably heard the term "social influencer" over the past few years, right? Well, MVP's are our VIrtual MOVEMent version of social influencers. MVP's want to work with SOMD staff to create their own group challenges, lead Zoom sessions, and are highly active on social media. MVP's are an extension of the SOMD team and drive recruitment strategies. Contact us if you are interested!
