Through his involvement on the Special Olympics Project UNIFY® National Youth Activation Committee, Coulston continues to spread the message that we need to look to our youth as agents of change!

Hey Everyone! My name is Evan Heller and I am a freshman at the University of Massachusetts Amherst where I am planning to major in Social Thought and Political Economy doubled with Anthropology. I am a youth leader—a role I have acquired and trained for through my work with Special Olympics, my position on the national Youth Activation Committee and Massachusetts Youth Activation Council, as well as several positions in high school and college. I have attended many conferences in regards to education, equity, and leadership, and from this have gained many insights that I hope to be able to share with any who are interested!
I look forward to learning more!
