Abby’s Path to SPIRIT CLUB
I’ll never forget my first introduction to SPIRIT Club. I was a senior in college at Iowa State University, exploring potential internship opportunities for my final semester as a Kinesiology and Public Health major. There were two things I wanted: to move to the D.C. area, and to find an organization that was making hands-on changes to community health by implementing programs that improved people’s lives! I received a call from my advisor saying I should Google SPIRIT Club and that they were a gym just outside D.C. that supported people with disabilities. I remember taking that call between sets of my workout while sweating at the gym, knowing that I wanted in before even looking this place up. I couldn’t wait!
