Local Nonprofit Profile: The Ability Center
The Ability Center
Since 2008, The Ability Center’s mission has been to provide people impacted by disabilities with opportunities to be fit, active, and to play together, side by side, with their able-bodies loved ones. We build communities where people of all ages and abilities are provided a universal opportunity for health, wellness, and recreation.
ASAP: Inclusive Education, serving up to 10,000 students annually across Wisconsin.
Our ASAP assemblies include a presentation from a wheelchair athlete, providing students and staff an opportunity to play wheelchair basketball in this interactive experience. Our team will lead PE classes for the day, teaching about various adapted sports, play games, and provide disability awareness training.
George Moss Universal Park
From ballfields to forest, bathrooms to playgrounds, fitness to picnics, Moss Universal Park is designed for ALL abilities, ALL ages, ALL the time! Transitioning beyond just an inclusive playground, we are transforming all 18 acres of Milwaukee County’s Wisconsin Avenue Park into a universally inclusive mecca of sport, play, and recreation.
With amazing community support, we have raised over $8MM to date, the George F. Moss Universal Park intends to break ground on Phase 1 during the Fall of 2026, with a target completion by the summer of 2028.
