Hanna and Steve are Special Olympics Youth Leaders from Germany who will lead a Youth Innovation Project aiming to provide comprehensive training to the next generation of Special Olympics Youth Leaders.
Over the course of twelve months, Youth Leaders will gain competency in a variety of topics including first aid, sports management, inclusive Youth Leadership, and social media management. Youth Leaders will also volunteer and present at Special Olympics events and attend the Special Olympics Germany National Games to gain hands-on experience. In the final month of their project, Hanna and Steve will encourage the Youth Leaders to take the lead on coordinating a new Unified Sports team. By training and empowering new Youth Leaders to develop Unified Sports programs, Hanna and Steve are ensuring the legacy of the Unified Generation.
