Organization Details

Since 1981, Project HAPPY (Hunter Activity Program for Parents and Youth) has been providing sorely needed athletic and recreational services to New York City's children, youth and young adults who have disabilities.

We aim to promote skill development in a variety of athletic and recreational activities.

Presently we serve about 150 participants between the ages 6 and 30 who have disabilities such as, Spina bifida, Cerebral palsy and other orthopedic disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD),Mental Retardation, and other developmental delays.

We aim to involve people from the community in HAPPY activities and educational projects for people with disabilities. Currently our volunteer population represents a diverse group of high school and college students, young professionals and senior citizens. Our goal is to maintain an enrollment of 75 volunteers.
