The Wichita YMCA now has a H.E.R.O. program!! H.E.R.O is a Wichita YMCA adapted needs initiative for boys and girls ages 5-11, with physical and mental disabilities. The goal of H.E.R.O is to give everyone an opportunity to play and be active regardless of limitation. To help the participants, volunteers that are at l...east 14 years of age are recruited and trained.
