Where it happens
Open Ground goes to the participant. Services can take place at:
- Homes
- Parks
- Schools
- Agencies
- Recreation facilities
- Community settings
Many activities are outdoors, and safety comes first. Sessions may be moved or rescheduled for heat, air quality, rain, or other hazards.
