The Hunterdon Outreach Program, started in Hunterdon County in the Spring of 2003, serves
to promote and develop different sports for children in our Community who are physically or
developmentally disabled.
Currently, our programs include Soccer, Basketball, Baseball and Tennis. Our program is
designed to grow and adapt to the needs of the children and to promote the growth of the
program in the Community-at-large. Our program introduces these children to the sports who
are not normally recruited due to their disabilities.
All the programs that we conduct are free to the participating athletes. Each program brings
the volunteers, athletes, and their parents together in a fun and caring environment. This is an
excellent way to bring handicapped and non-handicapped individuals together. Our volunteers
are selected from current Travel and Recreation soccer and baseball programs throughout
Hunterdon County, high schools, and from religious and social organizations expressing an
interest in becoming involved in the program. Volunteering in all our sports is approved for
community service hours by various religious and civic organizations.
