For over 15 years, we have seen the impact of what a social learning program can do for our community. But we recognize many people do not have access to an in-person support program. So we are bringing the teaching, stimulation, and FUN online for everyone! Now anyone can get the same feeling of purpose + participation virtually with daily activities, special events, and the support of their new “neighbors.”
We serve adults with special needs who would like to engage with others and participate in our daily activities. A sample of our activities in a given week may look like:
If these activities would interest and benefit you or someone in your life, then The Next Stop Neighborhood would love to have you join the fun!
