The YMCA of Greenville RECESS program recognizes that for many adults, the end of high school means the end of the social, educational, and recreational opportunities provided in that environment. The need for a place for adults with disabilities to find acceptance, belonging, and opportunities for a better lifestyle was recognized, and the RECESS program was started.

It is the goal of the YMCA to provide a quality program for adults with diverse abilities. RECESS stands for Recreation, Education, Community, Exercise and Social Service.

The YMCA of Greenville RECESS program is a place where participants learn about nutrition, fitness, social responsibility, community outreach, and independent living skills. RECESS allows adults with diverse abilities not only a place to continue to learn new skills, but also gives them a place to connect with friends and gain a sense of belonging.
