Access For All Mission
The Committee serves as an advocate for individuals with disabilities in the Borough to help assist in gaining better access to services in the Community. The Committee's goal is to enhance their quality of life so that they may participate, to the fullest extent possible, in everyday activities in the community.
The Committee identifies existing programs and opportunities and develops and coordinates educational and social activities within the Borough. This is done in partnership with the County, other organizations and municipalities.
About Access For All
We are a Mayoral Advisory group and report to the Mayor and Borough Council on matters which affect people with disabilities. In addition to advising the Borough, we can provide information about resources as well as plan events which promote inclusive activities.
