• When the Special Olympics USA Games came to Seattle in the summer of 2018, Jordan decided to volunteer. He quickly connected with a flag football team from Federal Way, and ended up coming back day after day to spend time with the athletes. By the end of the games, Jordan was a member of the Federal Way Thunder, a program that offers sporting opportunities for people with or without intellectual or physical disabilities "I was learning so much from them," said Jordan. "I feel like I got more from being in that environment or being around them than I can give them. I genuinely feel that way." Jordan was able to reconnect with the team during the following holiday season, throwing a holiday party for more than 100 Special Olympics Washington athletes. The Federal Way Thunder had a gift for him: a poster of their squad with Jordan in the middle, signed by every player.
• NFL players had the opportunity to participate in the NFL's annual My Cause, My Cleats campaign during a designated home game between Weeks 13-15 of 2018. Jordan and his teammates represented their respective causes with custom-designed cleats in an effort to raise awareness and funding. Jordan represented the Special Olympics. "Personally, I feel like they're the toughest athletes on the planet."
