About Quest in Recovery

Quest in Recovery is a local nonprofit whose mission is to create a peer-supported community designed to give young adults healthy, fun and engaging ways to share their recovery stories. Their program is designed to give others the gift of recovery through weekly recreational activities, monthly educational workshops and service opportunities with other nonprofits. By involving the greater community, we hope to lower barriers of cost and access to these essential resources because we believe that one person truly can change the world of one person who feels they are alone. We strive to change that: from stigma to awareness, loneliness to community, shame to compassion one day, one why at a time.
