Fridays in Motion Special Needs Program Resumes at the Y
Children with diverse abilities ages 5-17 and their families are invited to join us for the return of our most popular special needs programs, Fridays In Motion. Thoughtfully designed for youth with communication, social, behavioral and learning differences to thrive in a safe, friendly and supportive environment. Our mission is to encourage, help, build and strengthen healthy physical activity, confidence, social skills and more. Participants can enjoy a variety of activities that promote health, wellness, creative enrichment, socialization and more.
The events are offered once a month, where volunteers engage the children and their families with a different activity, like swimming, pet therapy and indoor games. It's a great opportunity for community members to socialize and have fun! All events are free, but registration is required as spots are limited (see below).
