After a day of learning and leadership training, T After a day of learning and leadership training, Team Washington Youth Leadership Experience members Isayah and Mallory spent Day 2 giving back as volunteers at the Young Athletes activity course at the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games. 

With a Superhero theme, young participants and their families explored inclusive play, movement, and the many opportunities to get involved with Special Olympics, starting as young as age 2 and continuing throughout life.

The day was filled with energy, smiles, laughter, and empowerment as future athletes discovered their strengths and experienced the joy of inclusion.

Inclusion starts early. Leadership starts with service. And everyone has a superpower.
