Unified

Promoting Inclusion Through Sport

Unified Sports connects people with intellectual disabilities (athletes) and without intellectual disabilities (Unified partners) together. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship, understanding, and inclusion.

Unified Champion Schools

Special Olympics Wisconsin Unified Champion Schools is a strategy that promotes experiences for individuals with and without intellectual disabilities within a school to create a unified experience for students and educators.

SO College

Special Olympics Wisconsin college programs connect college students and individuals with intellectual disabilities through shared events and experiences. Together, college students and Special Olympics athletes can work together to build unified colleges. 

Youth Activation

Special Olympics Wisconsin’s Youth Activation Committee (YAC) consists of 10 youth ages 14-18 from across the state, both with and without intellectual disabilities. 

Athlete Testimony

“With the friendships you can from your coaches and the other athletes, it gives your mental health a break and calms you down so much. Especially when you around people that are here for you and they’re there to help you.”

Christian, Athlete
