Winter break is almost here — and so is the YMCA of Greenville’s RECESS.

RECESS is a program for post-grad adults with diverse abilities to learn skills in health, socialization, and living independently. (After its expansion to the Eastside Y, it will serve 72 GVL families).

Three ways to support RECESS:

  1. Volunteer.
  2. Donate.
  3. Suggest your place of business for a learning location field trip.

Bonus: Don’t miss the RECESS tree in the 2022 Festival of Trees. Learn more about RECESS.*
