ADA & Inclusion

EVERY NEIGHBOR BELONGS AT OUR Y

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was created to protect people with disabilities from discrimination and promote inclusion in all areas of society.

 

The Bloomington-Normal YMCA is committed to ensuring individuals of all abilities have access to participate in our programs, services and activities. As part of our mission to be an organization that serves all, we are happy to provide accommodations and modifications to our programs to serve the needs of our community.

Inclusion: The practice of actively integrating, respecting and valuing individuals from all backgrounds and abilities so they feel a true sense of belonging and have equal access to opportunities.
Accommodation: A change, adjustment or exception to an environment, program or policy that allows a person with a disability to participate, perform essential functions or enjoy equal benefits.
