Community Collaboration and Partnerships

Successful adaptive sports programs often rely on strong community collaboration and partnerships. In Nassau and Suffolk counties, we have established relationships with local schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations. These partnerships enhance our ability to reach more individuals and provide high-quality services.

The trend towards community-based support systems is expected to continue, further strengthening the impact of our programs. Helping Hands is partnering with Speed Island and its elite athletes and coaching staff!
