Who We Are
HRCA Therapeutic Recreation Programs are intended to enhance the quality of life of individuals with special needs. Our goal is to challenge participants, support general independence, choice, self-determination, and self-confidence. All HRCA staff, across all programs, work to support the leisure interests of people of all ages and abilities.
Key Therapeutic Recreation Program Information
- Purpose: enhance the quality of life of individuals with special needs
- Staff: Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists and/or qualified staff facilitate programs
- Age: all ages
- Ability: all abilities
- Volunteers: Volunteers must be 15 or older to volunteer through the HRCA Therapeutic Recreation Program.
Volunteers play a crucial role in the success of HRCA's events, activities, and leadership. Whether you like the hustle-bustle of Oktoberfest, a heated debate in a District Delegate meeting, the quiet of a Backcountry trail, or the special needs children of the Therapeutic Recreation Department, the HRCA has a variety of opportunities for community volunteers.
Many of our group programs could not run without volunteer support. We welcome adults and teens (ages 15 and up). We are always looking for volunteers for our activities. Volunteer and change a life!
What We Do
Want to get involved? We have many opportunities to do something fun and meaningful to support your association and the community in which you live.
HRCA Volunteers
- Provide leadership; member-volunteers make up our board of directors, district delegates, and committees
- Coach our youth sports teams
- Extend a hand to the Therapeutic Recreation staff in providing programs for children and adults with special needs
- Maintain the Backcountry Wilderness Area by participating in service projects; clear brush, pick up trash, kill weeds, and more, and they also patrol trails
- Contribute to the success of the Race Series by helping with registration, set-up, clean-up, passing out water, and more.
- Assist with their favorite Community Events; help set up, work, and/or breakdown an event, as it's a fun way to get more involved, meet new people, and have a great time!
Consistency is really important for the population we serve, that’s why we ask for a commitment for a given month or event.
That being said, if someone has a conflict, we can work around things like that if we know in advance.
