Club Morgan is a group-based program for members to create social, recreational, and inclusive opportunities for individuals of all abilities who are 16 or older. Members will form friendships while participating in a variety of activities including creative arts, culture, sports, outdoor recreation, and more. Club Morgan will offer monthly programming where Volunteer Partners and Participants can sign-up to attend via GivePulse.

Club Morgan was created to provide more opportunities for individuals with all abilities to come together and build lifelong friendships. As with many other social gatherings in the community, not all are inclusive for individuals to participate or feel safe and comfortable. We want to be a part of that change and make a difference.

For individuals of all abilities who are 16 or older.

Where we started:

Our original league was founded in response to a significant lack of inclusive athletic environments for adults with physical and mental disabilities. Some organizations focused on youth players but once a person reached eighteen that list reduced dramatically. It was our vision to create an athletic organization which would have no barriers to entry and could accommodate any adult player as they are. Over ten years later this principle hasn't changed.

How our games are set up:

We are out there to create an atmosphere exclusivity and fun. Due to this no scores are kept during our All-Star League games. Every player bats until they get a hit even if it is from a tee. Runners wait till after a hit to automatically progress to the next base. Our first concern is always the safety of our players and volunteers. Players in the field and on base always have an accompanying buddy who's present to stop line drives and generally prevent injury on the field. They are also there to help players pick and relay the ball back to our volunteer pitcher. Everyone is cheered for what they can do and we all leave a little bit richer.

This is a co-ed league for adults with special needs.

Top-quality ABA programs focus on teaching meaningful, vital skills to learners that help them to be successful and independent in everyday life. This requires that everything learned in ABA sessions be practiced and “generalized” to actual, real-world situations. CARD programs specifically target generalization activities to help learners apply skills that they have learned in their ABA program across:

• Different locations (Home, school, community settings)
• Different people (Caregivers, family members, teachers, peers, community helpers)
• Different activities and settings (Play and social activities, events, outings, extra-curricular activities)

According to each learner’s needs, CARD will develop specific learning activities to help your child transfer skills that have been learned to real interactions and natural settings, so that gains made in ABA have a direct and meaningful impact on daily life.
