REACH offering Unified Recreation Programs for Youth

New Youth Recreation Programs at REACH!

Reach for Resources is offering two new Youth Recreation Programs this winter. These new programs are designed for children with and without disabilities to participate and learn together. Reach for Resources, Inc. is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support individuals with disabilities and mental illness to reach their full potential. We do this by providing individualized services that maximize independence, promote community involvement, and improve physical and mental well-being.

Young Athletes (Ages 2-7)
