ASF Membeship

In keeping with the mission of University of Michigan Adaptive Sports & Fitness we aim to increase access and opportunity to adaptive sports and fitness for people with and without disabilities. Importantly, ASF has the opportunity to have a positive societal impact in the Southeast Michigan community and simultaneously the community can have a profound impact in our ability to establish and deliver nation leading programming. However, to support community facing programming sustainably it is necessary to establish a membership structure that aids in recouping some operational expenses while at the same time not imposing significant socio-economic barriers for people to access sport. The proposed membership fees could be offset by individual grants.
