Who We
Are Governed by an unpaid Board of Directors, Together for Retarded Youth, Inc. also known as TRY, was incorporated as a 501(c)3) non-profit organization located in Wexford, PA. Of particular note is the fact that TRY does not charge for any of its activities; all regular and special events, including Day Camp, are open to any mentally and/or physically handicapped youth or adult. TRY is both managed and staffed entirely by volunteers. TRY operates year round. The scope of its activities range from craft programs where handicapped individuals create useful and decorative items to seasonal events such as holiday parties. TRY has a holistic approach to recreation and socialization and plans its activities commensurate with varying levels of participant ability so that each participant may experience success and pleasure in meaningful activity. The centerpiece of TRY’s annual calendar of events is its week-long Day Camp. Despite escalating cost and an escalating number of participants, TRY is committed to continuing programs for individuals with handicaps. The organization welcomes volunteer participation as well as cash and other donations. |
