Special Olympics Project UNIFY is an initiative that brings youth with and without intellectual disabilities together to make a difference. Following this belief, Project UNIFY is youth driven, with a National Youth Activation Committee (YAC) made up of young people representing intermediate and secondary schools, as well as colleges, across the country. Members of the committee work together over the course of the year to develop strategies to promote school communities where all young people are agents of change.

Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. I served as a Unified Partner through my high school's Unified Soccer and Unified Basketball teams and managed the associated Project Unify student organization.

Promoted social inclusion of individuals with intellectual disabilities at my high school through the implementation of inclusive sports, inclusive youth leadership opportunities, and whole school engagement.
