Unified Champion Schools

Special Olympics Nebraska's Schools Program encourages inclusion, participation, and leadership in students through the power of sport. This partnership between schools and Special Olympics Nebraska includes sports training and competition, inclusive youth leadership and whole school engagement for students of all ages. 

Unified programming empowers youth and educators to be leaders of change. By playing and learning together, we will create a more inclusive world. Students of all abilities have the power to positively impact their school communities by promoting social inclusion.
