One-to-one’s

Anyone, over the age of 21, who feels comfortable with the responsibility of providing one-to-one support for an Access athlete can serve as a one-to-one. This can be a family member, general support person, JCC staff member, volunteer, etc. It is best if the one-to-one is familiar with the athlete and their specific needs.

Whether you love to move, create, connect, or just hang out, you’ll find your place here. Make lasting friendships and be part of a community that celebrates you just as you are. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to support teens and young adults of all abilities in a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone can shine. Access Club is more than just events; it’s a place to belong.
