Judging someone does not define who they are.
It defines who YOU are.

What is Project UNIFY?
Project UNIFY is an education-based project that uses the sports and education programs of Special
Olympics to activate young people across the U.S. in order to promote school communities where all young
people are agents of change - fostering respect, dignity and
advocacy for people with intellectual disabilities.
