Empower SCI Pathways : 2024 Spring series
The Spring Series was made up of several day events throughout New England including a “Family Dinner” cooking experience, an opportunity to dive deeper into yoga, a day of art at the Museum of Fine Arts (followed by a trip through Boston to a brewery), and an adaptive ski day.
These programs are open to anyone with a spinal cord injury and are a great way to get a taste of the Empower SCI magic.
