Get Involved

Adaptive Adventures strives to create an inclusive community where everyone can get involved. The Adaptive Adventures community is made up of local, national and international members including participants, families, caregivers, volunteers, donors, corporations, organizations, interns and dedicated staff.

Donate

Give today. Change a life tomorrow.

Erika’s story is just one example of the incredible impact that your contribution makes.

This moment of reclaiming possibility happens because of people like you.

Your donation doesn’t just purchase equipment or fund programs—it restores identity, rebuilds confidence and reconnects people with the adventures that make them feel alive again.

Every dollar you contribute works hard:

  • It places adaptive equipment in waiting hands
  • It trains specialized instructors who understand both the technical and emotional journey
  • It creates barrier-free environments where limitations fall away
  • It ensures no participant faces financial obstacles to their recovery journey

For veterans like Erika rediscovering purpose, children experiencing freedom of movement for the first time and adults reclaiming what was lost—your gift is the bridge between “I can’t” and “I did it!”

Your fully tax-deductible donation isn’t charity. It’s an affirmation that everyone deserves to feel the rush of adventure, the pride of achievement, and the embrace of a community that believes in their potential.

Become a Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. With over 650 dedicated individuals, our passionate team of volunteers forms the very foundation of our mission.

As a volunteer, you’ll be part of an incredible community that spans across various roles and responsibilities. From providing essential training and instruction to coordinating and planning events, your contributions will make a meaningful impact. If you have a knack for administration, fundraising, or special event support, we have opportunities for you too.

As a volunteer, you’ll have the chance to actively participate in the sports that ignite your passion alongside those we serve. We value inclusivity, and we provide all volunteers with comprehensive disability awareness training. Additionally, you’ll receive specialized training tailored to the specific sports you’ll be involved in. But it doesn’t stop there—throughout the year, we offer unique opportunities for you to further enhance your skills. Dive deeper into topics such as transferring techniques, working with spinal cord injuries, supporting individuals with traumatic brain injuries, becoming a visual impaired guide, and even First Aid/CPR certification.

Be a part of something extraordinary. Join the team of exceptional volunteers at Adaptive Adventures, and together, let’s empower individuals of all abilities to unleash their full potential through sports and recreation.
