About:
Unified Basketball, part of the Special Olympics, is doing more than just bringing athletes of all abilities together—it’s building an inclusive community powered by volunteerism. At Concord-Carlisle High School, students, teachers, and community members volunteer their time as coaches, Unified Partners, and organizers, making a lasting impact on the athletes and the community.
For the athletes, Unified Basketball is an opportunity to grow, connect, and be celebrated for their abilities. For the volunteers, it’s a rewarding experience that fosters empathy, teamwork, and lifelong friendships. Students play alongside athletes with intellectual disabilities, breaking down barriers and forming bonds that go beyond the basketball court.
Unified Basketball thrives because of these dedicated volunteers, proving that sports can be a powerful tool for inclusion and unity. As the program continues to grow, more volunteers are always needed to keep this spirit alive. By getting involved, you’re not just helping with a game—you’re joining a movement that’s changing lives for the better.
