REACH Description & Schedule:
-Programs for Adults & Teens with developmental disabilities-

GVRD is committed to providing recreation opportunities for all of Vallejo. Our THERAPEUTIC RECREATION PROGRAMS were developed to help people with developmental disabilities enjoy a full range of leisure activities.

Classes & social events are supervised by GVRD recreation staff members who are certified in CPR & first aid. Staff can assist with enrollment prior to the start of programs.

Some REACH classes are held once a week for 7 weeks (separated by a week break), while other *Special Events* are held monthly or annually.

Each client is required to have a caregiver on site during every GVRD activity.

**You must have a signed waiver in order to participate.**
