A Weekend Recreation Program might be a splendid idea if you’re too busy during the week to have some FUN! As a matter of fact, I think YOU deserve to get your giggle on after a week of school.

Just kidding, we both know you can’t ditch school. There is nowhere to sleep. Your parents and teachers would be missing you. What would your friends say? How about this idea? During the week, school and homework. Weekends, It’s ON!

Oh, Before You Go, I want to mention that classes are geared towards some specific disability types and levels according to the 14thstreetY’s website. However, don’t stress! First, just fill out the intake form and go from there. Here’s one of the best parts.
