NEW Resources Live on LETR.org

LETR Branded Canva Templates and LETR Trainings

We are excited to share several important updates now available on LETR.org, designed to better support Law Enforcement Torch Run programs, volunteers, and partners around the world.

New LETR Canva Templates

LETR.org now features a growing library of LETR-branded Canva templates that programs can easily customize and use for outreach, fundraising, and events. These templates include:

  • Bifold brochures
  • Retractable banners
  • Presentations and slide decks
  • Additional branded resources for local use

These tools are intended to help programs quickly create professional, on-brand materials without the need for advanced design software. We recognize that some smaller programs may not have access to AI or EPS-based applications, and Canva provides an accessible, user-friendly solution that helps level the playing field across the global LETR movement.

Launch of the LETR Training Portal

We have also launched a new LETR Training Portal, hosted through the Special Olympics Sports and Games Portal. This portal includes a dedicated training track specifically for:

  • LETR Volunteers
  • LETR Partners

Current courses available in the LETR track include:

  • Introduction to LETR
  • LETR Brand Training
  • Introduction to Special Olympics

These training courses are a valuable resource for onboarding new law enforcement agencies, volunteers, and partners, and provide consistent foundational knowledge aligned with LETR and Special Olympics standards worldwide.

A Continued Commitment to the Global Movement

These updates reflect the LETR Executive Council’s continued commitment to strengthening tools, resources, and infrastructure that support the growth and sustainability of the Law Enforcement Torch Run globally. By expanding access to training and providing practical, ready-to-use branding resources, we aim to empower programs of all sizes to succeed and to further advance awareness and support for Special Olympics athletes.

We encourage all programs, volunteers, and partners to explore these new resources on LETR.org and begin integrating them into your onboarding, training, and outreach efforts.
