Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
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.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
IN 2023, THE NEXT STOP ENRICHED THE LIVES OF 60-65 ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS THROUGH OUR DYNAMIC ONSITE PROGRAM. DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE 30 "MEMBERS" EACH AFTERNOON WE MEET, OUR PROGRAM THRIVES ON PROVIDING GOAL- ORIENTED GROUP ACTIVITIES, LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND PERSONALIZED MENTORSHIP TO OUR MEMBERS. OUR MEMBERS ENJOY A DAILY ROUTINE THAT INCLUDES A SELF-DIRECTED AND SUPPORTED SOCIAL HOUR, PREPARING A RECIPE AND SAVORING THE RESULT, PARTICIPATING IN RECREATION AND FINALLY, AN ENRICHMENT SESSION FILLED WITH STIMULATING ACTIVITIES. WITH THE GOAL OF REACHING OTHER ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS BEYOND OUR ONSITE PROGRAM, THE NEXT STOP DEVELOPED AND LAUNCHED A WEBSITE IN 2023 CALLED THE NEXT STOP NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS ONLINE PLATFORM IS DESIGNED TO VIRTUALLY CONNECT PEOPLE, ENGAGE THEM AND PROVIDE THEM WITH PURPOSEFUL AND MEANINGFUL DAILY ACTIVITIES. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 24 INCREDIBLE MEN AND WOMEN IN OUR "PROGRAM VOLUNTEER POOL". THEY ARE A VALUABLE ASSET TO OUR STAFFING AS THEY FACILITATE SMALL GROUPS AND SUPPORT MEMBERS WITHIN THE ACTIVITIES. AT LEAST 5 VOLUNTEERS PARTICIPATE EACH AFTERNOON. THE AMOUNT OF DIRECT PROGRAM VOLUNTEER HOURS IS ESTIMATED TO BE 2,700. INCLUDING FUNDRAISING AND EXTRA NEEDS, THE TOTAL WOULD BE ESTIMATED AT 3,000 HOURS.
