Special Olympics North Carolina is establishing an Eastern NC Youth Activation Council (YAC). This will be an elevated youth leadership opportunity for youth leaders with and without ID across eastern NC to represent Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools. Youth leaders will enhance their leadership skills, organize local Unified events and initiatives, and serve as advocates for inclusion. This group works together throughout the year to educate, motivate, and activate youth to become agents of change in their communities and advocate for the respect, inclusion, and acceptance of all people, regardless of abilities!
This commitment will run from January 2024 – June 2025. The council members will have virtual monthly meetings, as well as occasional in-person commitments. Middle school students, high school students, and college-aged youth are all welcome to apply for this opportunity! Students do not need to apply as Unified pairs; however, we will be selecting an equal number of students with ID and without ID. Please share the following application with your Unified Club members! Deadline to apply is Thursday, November 30th.
