Adapted Programming
All programs promote a safe, friendly and supportive environment.
Recognizing the need for quality adapted programming for individuals in the Edwardsville area, the Special Needs Adapted Programs help individuals gain confidence, promote independence and responsibility, socialize and work with others, as well as nurture a healthy and active lifestyle.
Interaction
The YMCA is proud to sponsor this exciting program for youth and adults with disabilities. This program allows middle school youth and older adults to interact in a social and recreational environment. After each event, the group gathers for late-night refreshments and great conversation!
The program usually meets either the first or second Friday of the month, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. Unless otherwise noted, all programs are held at the Niebur (Esic) Center.
This program is open to both members and non-members. Call today to register! 618-656-0436
