Description
  • STRIDE is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children with disabilities by providing sports and recreational opportunities. In partnership with local governments, school districts and other non-profits, STRIDE empowers disabled youth with such extra curricular activities as skiing, swimming, baseball, sailing, bowling, snowshoeing programs, and camping trips.

    Since 1986, STRIDE has specialized in therapeutic-related programs designed to provide enjoyable experiences to currently over 460 children with disabilities in upstate New York and neighboring states.

    STRIDE is a 100% volunteer organization that relies heavily on the energy and commitment of others. Approximately 200 volunteers are trained and/or certified in each special program each year. All of STRIDE's funding goes to providing equipment to participants and covering program and general management expenses. Programs are essentially cost-free to participants.

    STRIDE is completely funded by donations, grants, and special gifts, and is designated a not-for-profit 501 (c)3 charitable organization and registered with New York State Office of Charities.
