About this service
SMILE is a Saturday morning gym and swim program available for children and youth who have special needs ages 3-21 years. We have over 55 children participate each year. The program is offered to those who may otherwise not be able to participate in typical recreation programs due to their unique developmental needs. Each child is paired with a dedicated volunteer student from Mount Allison University to enjoy a wonderful morning at the YMCA. We provide specialized equipment and the one-on-one support the children need to fully participate in the program. The program offers so much to the families, children and volunteers. It is a respite break for the parents, a chance for family connections, a recreational and social experience for the children and a great leadership experience for the Mount Allison University students.
