Valeria and Esmeralda are Special Olympics Youth Leaders from El Salvador who will lead a Youth Innovation Project to provide additional academic support to students with intellectual disabilities by holding reading workshops throughout their community.

Valeria and Esmeralda will invite students from different schools, strengthening the community, supporting Special Olympics and creating connections across the Region. By holding reading workshops, Valeria and Esmeralda are empowering youth in their area and giving them the tools they need to succeed while growing the Unified Generation.
