Stephanie Handojo

To Stephanie, the athlete oath isn't just a saying. It's a valuable tool for overcoming her greatest fears. Being involved in Special Olympics has given Stephanie the confidence she needs to celebrate her abilities and pursue her dreams. As a Sargent Shriver International Global Messenger and a Health Messenger, she wants to promote health and educate young athletes.

Savannah Rock

Youth Ambassador Savannah Rock
Hello! My name is Savannah and I am currently a sophomore at the University of Northern Colorado. I have been involved with Special Olympics from a very young age. From being a Unified coach, to president of Unified Clubs, to my current role as a youth representative on Colorado’s Board of Directors, it all began with my older brother, Kalin. I have observed that Kalin does not always have as many opportunities as his peers, which I am determined to change through my work as a U.S. Youth Ambassador!

Maggie McNellis

Youth Ambassador
Hi, my name is Maggie McNellis and I am a freshman at Eastern Illinois University. Currently I’m a U.S. Youth Ambassador for the Midwest. My involvement with Special Olympics includes the annual youth summit. In addition to this, I have engaged with Special Olympics in Hyannis Port and at the Chicago 2019 IYL summit. The inclusion revolution is important because it brings people together. My brother Quinn has Down Syndrome and having the inclusion revolution helps him be happy with who he is. It also gives him opportunities. I want people to ask him how he is doing instead of asking me instead!

Kyle Norman

Youth Ambassador
Hi! My name is Kyle. I am a U.S. Youth Ambassador for the Northwest Region. I am a 2019 graduate of Capital High School in Helena, Montana. Capital High School is a Unified Champion School. When I was a student there, I helped plan respect rallies, participated in the Polar Plunge, took a Unified PE class, and participated on the Special Olympics team in Unified basketball, athletics, swimming, and bowling. I am currently working part-time at Optimal Sports Physical Therapy and participating in work experiences. I have attended the Special Olympics National Unified Champion Schools conference in 2016 and 2019. I also represented the state of Montana at Capitol Hill Day in Washington, DC in February 2018. The inclusion revolution is important to me because it is a great movement and I feel it is important to include everyone, with and without disabilities.

William McClennan

Youth Ambassador
Hi, my name is William McClennan. I'm currently a senior at Yorktown High School in Arlington Virginia. My first real involvement with Special Olympics Unified Sports was going to the Seattle Special Olympics USA Games representing Virginia in the Youth Leadership Experience with my friend Alex. After that, Alex and I were selected to be the U.S. Youth Ambassadors to the Mid-Atlantic Region as part of the first class of ambassadors. I love all of the big picture stuff, but I think I have the most fun coaching our schools Unified sports (hopefully adding Unified bocce next year). Meaningful inclusion is so important to me because when it’s practiced and implemented you can create a community of respect and acceptance. Creating these communities is really what I see the Unified Generation being, everyone needs a place where they belong.
