SNAP Basketball

Catalog description

SNAP (Special Needs Adaptive Programs) provides inclusive, adaptive recreational sports coaching to Children of Determination, the UAE’s official term for young people with disabilities throughout the Abu Dhabi community. Each week, SNAP offers skill-building lectures and basketball sessions in which NYUAD student volunteers serve as "buddies," mentoring their participants under the guidance of NYUAD Physical & Health Education instructors. Formerly a popular co-curricular volunteering program, SNAP has been developed into a credit bearing course as part of NYUAD's legacy efforts from the Special Olympics World Games 2019.
