    Description

    Volunteer for YAI's Central Park Challenge 2026!

    YAI's Central Park Challenge is one of New York's largest events that celebrates people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Now in its 40th year, this event raises funds that are vital towards YAI's mission to create opportunities for people with I/DD to live, love, work, and learn in their communities.

    Come join us on May 30 for our signature 3K Walk for I/DD advocacy, Junior Races for kids 2-12, and check out our festival area filled with carnival games, live entertainment, and adapted activities for people of all abilities.
