City of Chattanooga - Therapeutic Recreation Services

Mission: To provide leisure and recreation opportunities for citizens of all abilities.

We serve both youth and adults with physical, cognitive, and/or emotional disabilities. Through our programs, education and advocacy, individuals can build confidence, improve physical and cognitive abilities, expand support and social networks; and enhance overall quality of life.

We provide a large range of adaptive programs for adults and youth with disabilities in Chattanooga and the surrounding areas. Our programs change out with the seasons and we constantly add new programs and partner with other organizations. Some of the programs we provide are kayaking, soccer, golf, art, rock climbing, social gatherings, summer camp, horticulture, and fitness. We also provide opportunities for Special Olympics Basketball, Swimming, Bowling, and Bocce Ball. We have a small, but mighty staff and would love more volunteers to help put on our awesome events!
