The Next Stop Foundation Inc

Adults with special needs 'age out' of the school system at the age of 22 and their consistent peer group and teacher mentors are no longer a part of their life. Often their days are without purpose or meaning and they feel lonely and isolated. To support these young adults, the next stop provides a program where they can engage and interact with their peers and mentoring volunteers/staff, participate and succeed in goal-oriented activities, and continue to learn new things. Each day consists of a supported social time, a group cooking experience, a recreational activity and an enrichment opportunity.
