Our Mission
The Axis Project, a 501(c)(3) organization that is pioneering a new model of inclusive wellness and community care, a place where people with disabilities and older adults can move, create, and belong. Our mission is to foster meaningful connections and enhance both mental and physical health through our fitness, nutrition, and community programs.
Protect NYC’s Only Inclusive Wellness Hub
The Axis Project is New York City’s only fully inclusive wellness hub, but after losing two spaces during COVID, our landlord sold our building, forcing us to relocate and rebuild again.
Our goal leading up to 2026 is to raise $1m to cover recent relocation costs, further develop programming, and eventually secure our own building so that Axis can be a permanent resource for people with disabilities and aging adults in New York City.
UNIVERSAL DISABILITY IMPACT
Investing in quality-of-life programs for people with disabilities is not only a moral imperative for creating inclusivity but also brings broad social, economic, and health benefits for individuals and the community at large.

DO NOT FEEL WELCOME
TWICE THE RISK

This heightened risk has a broad impact on the community, affecting healthcare. economics, productivity, social support, education, awareness, and policy considerations.
