Empowering Youth to Create Change: A Collaborative Approach

Join us for Session #9 on motivating and activating youth to make a difference in their communities. We will explore the use of the SO Program, Project UNIFY, and other school/community resources to transform our aspirations into reality. The Wagon Wheel activity fosters teamwork and encourages broad discussions on best practices for collaborating with educators, administrators, and fellow students. With interactive mock meetings and strategic planning, participants will gain valuable skills to identify beneficial organizations, advocate for Special Olympics, and effectively communicate action plans back home.
