Olivet Boys & Girls Club is pleased to announce a new partnership with All Abilities Fitness Center to offer fitness services to youth in Reading and Berks County that are participating in Olivet’s annual Summer Camp. This partnership aligns with the mission of both organizations in helping youth reach their full potential and promote healthy lifestyles.
This program includes over a dozen weekly classes over the course of 5 weeks. This program will include weekly classes tailored to specific age groups for each of the Olivet brick and mortar club locations (followed by encouraging youth to have fun, exercise, and collaborate. All Abilities Fitness Center’s staff are well trained and qualified in understanding the social/emotional needs of youth and adapting their fitness programs to foster inclusivity and enjoyment.
“Movement and socialization have been proven to have a positive impact on mental and physical health. Being a part of a team, achieving goals that may have been thought to be out of reach, and moving together can show improvements way beyond the activity that stretch into all parts of our lives. All Abilities Fitness Center believes that all people, regardless of ability, age, limitations, and/or socioeconomic status deserve the right to participate! Olivet Boys and Girls clubs’ mission, to further enhance the lives of children in the community, aligns with the mission of All Abilities. It only made sense that the two combined together to create a partnership that directly benefits the youth! It is with pleasure that All Abilities provides active movement and participation to the members of Olivet Boys and girls club throughout the city of Reading. Every single person deserves the right to feel included and successful”
