Advocacy/Community Engagement
Manuel is a Special Olympics Youth Leader from Guatemala who will lead a Youth Innovation Project aiming to unify people with and without intellectual disabilities through a common role model, a teammate of his named Alfredo.
Over the course of three months, Manuel hopes to engage 25 new Youth Leaders and have his videos of Alfredo reach 600 people. In addition to these goals, Manuel hopes to use this as a fundraising campaign by catching the attention of local agencies and educational partners. By highlighting a new role model for Youth Leaders in Guatemala, Manuel is inspiring the Unified Generation.
