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.
