If the YMCA is not your “only” drop off location after school; transportation will be provided free of cost by PossAbilities vans from school to the YMCA. 

Parents are responsible for arranging pick-up from the YMCA at the end of the day.  Transportation can be provided only if the youth has no other form of transportation.

·         Additional cost for outside Rochester city limits

 Notes:

-          Please respond to this email or give me a call: Kim Luckey (208-6248) with the activities that your son/daughter would like to be registered for.  If there is not specific dates or times listed by the activity, but they are interested, please let me know and I’ll get a hold of you once the dates and times become available.

-          All activities are based on availability of programs and amount of open spots, so please let me know as soon as possible.

-          PossAbilities will cover ALL fees for activities, unless noted below.  There may be additional fees for special field trips or other activities offered on NS DAYS.

-     Reminder:  Activities will only be offered if there are two or more youth signed up (unless your child is staffed 1:1).  *There may be exceptions to this if we have enough staff.*


The programs offered will be inclusive. Our program is designed for youth who have disabilities, but the activities that your child chooses to be involved in, will be in coordination with programs that include youth who do not have disabilities. We will be providing staff support, depending on the level of support your child needs to be involved in these programs. If these programs do not fit the needs of your child, there are many other options. We are a very flexible program and are willing to work with you and your child!
