ADAPTIVE PROGRAMS

Ensuring All Members Have the Opportunity to Belong

Our goal is to provide wellness opportunities to all members of the community regardless of their ability. The Granite YMCA’s adaptive programs help individuals gain confidence, promote independence and responsibility, socialize and work with others, as well as nurture a healthy and active lifestyle. All programs are led by qualified, trained individuals who help promote a safe, friendly, and supportive environment for all needs.
