LISLE, Illinois—Gateway Special Recreation Association (SRA) is thrilled to announce the launch of a new daytime program starting in September 2024. This innovative program, named “Elevate,” will provide structured, five-day-a-week services for adults with disabilities, helping them transition from high school or transition centers to adult life in the community.
Ryan Massengill, Superintendent of Recreation at Gateway SRA, expressed her excitement about the new program. “We are incredibly proud to introduce Elevate, a program designed to help people achieve their personal goals and live fulfilling lives,” she said.
Elevate will utilize leisure education tools to teach real-life recreation skills and provide opportunities for participants to transfer these skills successfully into the community. The program will include ongoing evaluation to ensure participants are meeting their individual recreation goals. “The launch of Elevate is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team. We are excited to see the positive outcomes this program will bring to our community,” said Jim Pacanowski, Gateway SRA Board Chair. “This initiative aligns perfectly with our mission and strategic goals.”
