About Us - The Next Stop Neighborhood

Serving Adults with Special Needs

The Next Stop creates an interactive “neighborhood” with engaging content, events, and daily activities.

Mission/Vision Statement

To foster a safe online platform where adults with special needs can engage, connect and access daily activities for both learning + leisure.

Fighting Isolation + Loneliness

The Next Stop Neighborhood was created to tackle some of the unfortunate but common issues throughout the adult special needs population. It is not unusual for these adults to have few or no social opportunities, to be bored and inactive, and most regrettably to experience the regression of learned social and cognitive skills. Knowing firsthand how tough boredom, isolation and loneliness can be among these adults, we sought to create a stimulating place to engage, provide purpose, and to have fun.

Our History

TNS Neighborhood has been built by The Next Stop. Since 2007, our 501(c)3 has been developing valuable programming for adults attending our onsite program in Suwanee, Georgia. The program focuses on bringing learning, recreational, leisure, and social activities to our members. When we were forced to go online in 2020, we pivoted our program to serve our community virtually. We were able to add the same fulfillment we saw onsite into each of our member’s homes. Now we want to bring this joy and purpose to as many homes as we can.
