Join our $10,000 one-day campaign to fully fund our sports & games classes for adults with IDD.

Each year, Villa de Vida provides 60 classes that give adults with IDD the opportunity to learn:

  • The importance of being a team player,

  • How to stretch,

  • The rules of the game,

  • Basic athletic skills and

  • Sportsmanship and confidence!

For 10 weeks, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) can join in with a group of their peers to learn new skills, make some friends and practice social interaction.  For many in our community, this is the only opportunity that they have.

While our participants have some fun and get some exercise, this program also offers an important respite for families and caregivers.

We can’t offer these classes without your generous support.

Although the City of Poway’s recreation dept hosts the classes at the community center, they are run by Villa de Vida staff. In exchange for hosting the classes, the City of Poway takes 40% of the registration fees.

The costs to Villa de Vida regularly exceed $25,000, causing this program to operate in the negative.

It is important to note that these are the only classes offered through the City of Poway for adults with IDD. Without the support of Villa de Vida, it is highly likely these classes would not exist.
