Today is
#WorldYouthSkillsDay. In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared 15 July as World Youth Skills Day, to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship. At Special Olympics Tennessee, the Young Athletes™ program is a unique sport and play program for children with and without intellectual disabilities. The focus is on fun activities that are important to mental and physical growth to help children prepare to compete in Special Olympics events and more.
