Love seeing communities literally building in Inclusion and accessibility! Supporting our Inclusion Partner, Genesee Land Trust, ensures more people can enjoy the outdoors with their family and friends!
Just $10/month helps build 1 foot of boardwalk—opening access to trails for everyone to enjoy.🚶
Every step makes it easier for people of all ages and abilities to connect with the land we all share. 💚

Our Community Health Inclusion (CHI) initiatives spread the power and joy of inclusive recreation throughout communities. RAA uses a three-pronged approach to training recreation businesses to operate inclusively whenever their doors are open!! With this new model of true inclusion, it means families and friends can jump in and participate in REAL TIME -- that is, when they want to, with people they want to participate with, and doing things they want to be doing -- ALL WHILE KNOWING their needs will be met!
Our CHI partners include:
Erie Canal Boat Company in Fairport NY and Lockport, NY-- kayak and cycle rentals
Pickled Power -- Rochester NY -- pickleball instruction by Bob Stokes
Victor Parks and Recreation -- Victor NY -- a dynamic community recreation department
Healthy Highway -- a whole-life approach to sustainable wellness by Wendy Cooper
Genesee Valley Park Sports Complex -- training staff to provide inclusive programming
School 29 - Creating an Inclusion Team to address social inclusion throughout the school
Irondequoit Recreation -- starting the process of Inclusion throughout their department
More CHI partners are coming each year! Stay tuned as all of these wonderful entities begin thinking AND OPERATING inclusively so that all members of our community can participate!
Rochester Accessible Adventures works throughout the community (local, regional, and statewide) to bring true accessibility and social inclusion in recreation.
