Special Olympics Unified Schools brings youth with and without intellectual disabilities together through education and sports. It empowers youth and educators to be leaders of change.
There are three major elements in the program: Unified Sports®, Inclusive Youth Leadership and Whole School Engagement. Through diversified activities including seminars, lectures, practicums, voluntary services, Unified Sports® experience and competitions, an inclusive climate would be created at participating schools’ campus fostering interaction between youth with and without intellectual disabilities. In addition, potential Unified partners would receive further training to become leaders on and off the court.
