Yulia and Bogdan are siblings and Special Olympic Youth Leaders from Ukraine who will lead a Youth Innovation Project to create opportunities for Unified Sports in their local schools.
This project will introduce Unified volleyball to the middle school and high school in their community. Along with that, Yulia and Bogdan will reach out to other middle schools and high schools that have expressed interest in having Unified Sports in their schools and also invite nearby high schools to participate in a Unified volleyball tournament.

This project will create opportunities for children with and without intellectual disabilities participate in sport and promote school environments of social inclusion. Yulia and Bogdan are excited to grow social inclusion in their community. Through their leadership, the Unified Generation is growing in Ukraine and around the world.
