Windham Parks & Recreation has financial assistance available in the form of vouchers and scholarships for our recreation programs that happen year-round, including programs for seniors ages 55+, youth and family programs, and summer day camp! Please see below for more information on each type of financial assistance.
Senior Voucher Program (Adults 55+)
Windham residents ages 55+ are eligible for funding based on income and need. In order to maximize the number of seniors we can assist, partial scholarships consisting of vouchers will be awarded for 50% or 75% off the program fee. Fee will be adjusted at the time of registration.
In order to be eligible for this ongoing scholarship program, you must complete an application and meet with Windham Social Services to be approved. Submitting an application does not guarantee that you will be awarded a voucher; however, if you are awarded a voucher, it will apply for a full year for participation in any Windham Parks and Recreation senior trips or activities.
In order to complete your application, you will need to schedule a meeting with Windham Social Services by calling 892-1906. If you have no means of transportation, this interview can be an ADA phone interview with the General Assistance Manager, Rene’ Daniels. You will need to bring with you:
- Proof of residency (utility bill or lease or mortgage statement)
- Proof of Income (Avesta Housing residents automatically qualify, so you’ll only have to indicate the Avesta Housing Complex in which you reside.)
