In this season of connection, Holiday Spirit and Community Support shine as reminders of what we can build together and reminds us that hope shines brightest when it’s carried by many hands. For Unified Work, this time of year is more than celebration and spirit; it’s a moment when community support can help expand opportunity, dignity, and belonging for people with disabilities and create a lasting impact. When we show up with generosity and intention, we strengthen a movement built on employment equity, inclusive communities, and hope that lasts long after the season ends.

How Holiday Spirit Strengthens Community Support

The role community members play in expanding opportunity

Community members aren’t passive supporters, they are light-bringers. Your actions help illuminate pathways to opportunity, whether by sharing Unified Work’s mission, encouraging inclusive hiring, or simply spreading awareness. Every spark of support strengthens the movement.

Lighting the Path to 2026: Community Momentum Starts Now

Building excitement for a landmark moment

The 2026 Special Olympics USA Games will shine a national spotlight on ability, belonging, and community strength. But the energy doesn’t start with Opening Ceremonies, it starts here, now, with the people who believe in inclusion and are willing to take action.

As a sponsor for the 2026 USA Games, Unified Work’s latest innovations to support career readiness for athletes with intellectual disabilities will be prominently featured.
