Advocacy/Community Engagement
Lilie and Emilia are Youth Leaders from Colorado who will lead a Youth Innovation Project to promote advocacy for people with intellectual disabilities by organizing and implementing Walk and Roll, an inclusion parade and scavenger hunt.
Over six months, Lilie and Emilia will plan and promote their interactive project which will engage 200 individuals with and without intellectual disabilities as they celebrate inclusion. Lively music will accompany participants as they walk and roll on a course lined with celebration stations. Lilie and Emilia are excited to bring positivity and fun to individuals with intellectual disabilities while promoting inclusion at the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. As members of the Unified Generation, Lilie and Emilia hope to inspire other Youth Leaders and members of their Colorado communities to continue living Unified and encouraging others to join the Special Olympics movement.
