Fried Center for the Advancement of Potential

Our Story

The Fried Center for the Advancement of Potential (FCAP) was founded in 2013, inspired by Jon Fried's journey in the Special Olympics. After overcoming a misdiagnosis, Jon's experience led to the creation of FCAP, dedicated to providing individualized fitness plans for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Partnering with the University of Virginia, FCAP offers kinesiology students hands-on experience, fostering a supportive environment for both clients and interns.

Impact

FCAP delivers one-on-one medically-based fitness sessions, significantly enhancing the health and well-being of individuals with intellectual disabilities. The integration of student interns into the program has proven successful, with 98% of interns gaining acceptance into top graduate programs.
