Q: Can my family members and friends register for Social Clubs?
A; The mission for Barrier-Free's Social Cub is to bring together individuals with disabilities to share a social/independent space. We would prefer to keep our social clubs focused on this intended mission therefore we ask that large groups of family members and/or friends not join us on Social Outings. One-on-one support staff/counselors can attend as needed.
Q: I don't have a disability, can I still attend Social Clubs?
A; Barrier-Free loves our mentors that keep our programs thriving! Mentors are typically developing individuals that want to support/join in on our work and mission by participating in any Barrier-Free program. To become a Barrier-Free mentor visit our Volunteer page. Mentors are needed for Social Clubs, Inclusive Theater Companies, classes, and more!
