Health and Fitness
Isaiah and Oluwatobiloba are Special Olympics Youth Leaders from Nigeria who will lead a Youth Innovation Project to educate young people with and without intellectual disabilities about health and fitness topics to improve their quality of life.
Over six months, Isaiah and Oluwatobiloba will lead a team of 20 Special Olympics Youth Leaders to engage in their Fit&Empowered program. This program, modeled after the Special Olympics Fit5 curriculum, will host the main activities for their project. Isaiah and Oluwatobiloba will host leadership training and certification workshops for participants to foster friendships and connections to be taken into local communities to educate other young people. By expanding Unified fitness programming in local communities, Isaiah and Oluwatobiloba will increase opportunities for the Unified Generation to reach new individuals and create healthier communities in Nigeria.
