25 Days Of Volunteering — Day 22: Able Athletics Inclusive Sports

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — 'Tis the season for giving back to your community. There are a number of ways that you and your family can help others through the holidays.

Every day through Christmas, Patch will be highlighting a way you can provide compassion and resources to those in need.

Volunteer New York! makes it easy to find ways to help — through donations, supporting nonprofits and even volunteering from home.

Today’s opportunity is for Able Athletics inclusive sports program volunteers.

Able Athletics offers a dynamic, inclusive sports program to welcome athletes of all abilities. The program typically runs every Sunday and will rotate through exciting sports such as flag football, volleyball, basketball, lacrosse, wheelchair lacrosse, field hockey, and more.

Volunteers will be scheduled for 1.5 hours in the mornings and commit to 3-week cohorts (volunteers may sign up for multiple cohorts). Volunteers must attend all sessions in their cohort to build strong connections with athletes, volunteers, and therapists, as well as to support skill development.

This opportunity requires volunteers to register on a separate website:
