Together, we’re building a brighter future where youth with disabilities gain confidence and shine.
Our History
It started as a dream to be able to do something to create a big impact on people. Both of us having immigrant backgrounds, opportunities haven't always easily come our way. We faced systemic barriers whether it be in our ability to get volunteer opportunities or just within the education system at our schools. We had to work our way up, tirelessly, to get to where we are today. We wanted other children, equally as motivated as us, to not have any barriers stop them. We wanted to motivate them, help the through their fight, because every opportunity is worth fighting for. This is why we created the United Youth Coalition, this idea where youth help other youth. We know that children in mental and physical disabilities, children with cancer, lack the resources that every other kid their age has. They face isolation and discouragement, feeling that their inherent barriers would stop them. We wanted to remove those barriers, provide these kids with the opportunities and support they needed. We wanted to ultimately make a difference.
