Overview
The Adaptive Recreation Program is a comprehensive recreation program that provides recreation and leisure activities for Saint Paul residents of all ages who are mentally and/or physically disabled. Volunteers play an essential role in helping to provide our participants with a quality program.

With the help of volunteers, participants of Adaptive Recreation receive more individualized attention. They are then able to enjoy activities that improve fine and gross motor skills, cooperation, and socialization skills as well as increase their self-esteem.

Get involved, have fun, and make a difference by volunteering with Adaptive Recreation. For more information on volunteer opportunities with the Adaptive Recreation Program, contact Ev Senty at (651) 793-6634.
