About Us

We are game changers

Green Mountain Adaptive Sports is a Vermont-based non-profit founded in 2010 on the belief that access to sports and recreational programs are a powerful means for people with disabilities to develop independence as well as physical and mental well-being. We focus on getting people out and having fun. We value the effect our programs have on entire families.

Our vision is a world where sports and recreation are available for people of all abilities.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for Vermonters with disabilities by creating access to inclusive sports and recreational activities. We partner with organizations to enhance and deliver quality experiences to this community.
