Here’s something to celebrate, Greenville. This year marks year 10 for the YMCA of Greenville’s signature RECESS (Recreation, Education, Community, Exercise, Social and Service) program . For many adults, the end of high school means the end of the social, educational, and recreational opportunities provided in that environment — through RECESS, the YMCA provides a quality program for adults with diverse abilities to fill these fundamental needs.
The program currently serves 73 participants in four different classes (with a brand new class started this year at the Eastside Family branch). While participating in RECESS, participants learn about:
- Nutrition
- Fitness
- Social responsibility
- Community outreach
- Independent living skills + more
RECESS gives adults with diverse abilities a place to continue to learn new skills while connecting with friends and gaining a sense of belonging. Check out this video to learn more about RECESS from the program supervisor. *
