Jessica Minard

Minard’s innovative teaching idea, “Project Unify,” focuses on uniting individuals with developmental disabilities and their peers through the power of sports. With the Voya grant, Minard will work to launch a series of inclusive sporting opportunities for the students at Northview High School. Students involved in the project will gain valuable experience creating a vision for their goals, working in committees, taking ownership of tasks and learning about how to reflect and improve after each event. Through this project, Minard aspires to help build greater respect and appreciation for all individuals within the school’s community
