Julia and Eden will implement activities and workshops that engage individuals with and without disabilities from both schools to strategize, promote, and increase schoolwide participation in Unified programs. The Unified Exchange will include a joint event, hosted by Youth Leaders from both schools to celebrate inclusion through a day of sports, fitness, friendship, and fun. Julia and Eden hope to expand Unified programming across North Carolina and generate new Youth Leaders to join the Special Olympics movement to spread the power of inclusion across the state.

Julia and Eden will lead a team of 20 Special Olympics Youth Leaders with and without intellectual disabilities to plan, promote, and implement a series events over nine months. Through their planning, they will host a Unified Sports event that will engage over 200 youth with and without intellectual disabilities. Julia and Eden believe that by partnering with a mentor school outside of their local area, they will expand Unified programming across North Carolina and spread inclusion across their school and into the community. Julia and Eden hope to create over 100 new Youth Leaders and become a new Unified Champion School, further growing and strengthening the Unified Generation.
