At the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, our mission is to empower Team USA athletes to achieve sustained competitive excellence and well-being. We do this with a commitment to our core principles: - We promote and protect athletes’ rights, safety and wellness. - We champion the integrity of sport. - We respect the important role of our member organizations and support their need for success. - We set clear standards of organizational excellence and hold ourselves and all member organizations accountable. - We engage as a trusted and influential leader to advance the global Olympic and Paralympic movements. - We honor and celebrate the legacy of Olympic and Paralympic athletes. A federally-chartered nonprofit, the USOPC oversees both Olympic and Paralympic sport in the country – one of less than five National Olympic Committees to do so. Through a commitment to supporting and empowering America’s athletes, the USOPC is driven to bring the very best of the United States of America to the world through sport.
