World TEAM brings adaptive and able-bodied athletes together through inclusive athletic programs that empower, engage, and inspire individuals of all abilities.

For more than 30 years, we have used sport as a catalyst for possibility—challenging men, women, and youth with disabilities to pursue goals they once believed were out of reach. Across all of our programs, from mountain climbing and cycling to whitewater rafting and beyond, adaptive and able-bodied participants support one another, share the journey, and cross milestones together.

Serving a Diverse Population In Need

In the United States today, disability is common and widespread. According to recent health data from the CDC, more than one in four adults—over 70 million Americans—report having a disability, reflecting physical, cognitive, sensory, or other functional limitations.

This population spans all ages, genders, races, and backgrounds, and includes children, working-age adults, and older adults living with long-term health challenges.

Veterans are also significantly affected: nearly 30 % of U.S. veterans report a service-connected disability. World TEAM recognizes the unique needs of these veterans and is committed to providing exceptional opportunities for connection, purpose, and growth through outdoor athletic experiences.
