Unified Champion Schools is an education and sports based approach powered by an engaged youth community that increases athletic and leadership opportunities for students with and without intellectual disabilities while creating communities of acceptance for all.

A Unified Champion School is comprised of three core components:

Inclusive Sports - students with and without intellectual disabilities participate in sports alongside each other.
Inclusive Youth Leadership - youth are the pioneers of an inclusive movement - leadership in classrooms and community.
Whole School Engagement - entire schools accept and include students and others with ID.
