Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

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.

  • THE NEXT STOP PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE 30 "MEMBERS" EACH AFTERNOON, PROVIDING A STRUCTURED AND GOAL-ORIENTED ENVIRONMENT FILLED WITH GROUP ACTIVITIES, LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, AND PERSONALIZED MENTORSHIP. EACH DAY, OUR MEMBERS FOLLOW A ROUTINE THAT INCLUDES A SELF-DIRECTED AND SUPPORTED SOCIAL HOUR, PREPARING AND ENJOYING A RECIPE TOGETHER, ENGAGING IN RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, AND PARTICIPATING IN AN ENRICHMENT SESSION FILLED WITH STIMULATING ACTIVITIES. IN MARCH, WE HOSTED OUR ANNUAL FAMILY AND FRIENDS DINNER, A SPECIAL EVENT WHERE THE NEXT STOP MEMBERS TOOK CENTER STAGE. THEY PREPARED LASAGNAS AND DESSERTS, CRAFTED TABLE DECORATIONS, AND PERFORMED A MUSICAL PRESENTATION UNDER THE DIRECTION OF OUR MUSIC THERAPIST. MEMBERS ALSO EMBRACED KEY ROLES AS GREETERS, SERVERS, AND USHERS-GAINING VALUABLE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE IN TEAMWORK AND HOSPITALITY. PROVIDING MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES THAT ENHANCE AND EXPAND THE LIVES OF OUR MEMBERS IS AT THE HEART OF OUR MISSION. THROUGH 2024, OUR ONLINE PLATFORM, THE NEXT STOP NEIGHBORHOOD, SERVED 30 ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, OFFERING DAILY ACTIVITIES ALONG WITH LIVE INTERACTIVE SESSIONS FOUR TIMES A WEEK. THIS INITIATIVE WAS CREATED TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL SOCIAL AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES TO THOSE WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM A VIRTUAL SETTING. OUR PROGRAM IS ALSO STRENGTHENED BY AN INCREDIBLE TEAM OF 25 DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS. THESE INDIVIDUALS PLAY AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN FACILITATING SMALL GROUPS AND PROVIDING DIRECT SUPPORT TO OUR MEMBERS DURING ACTIVITIES. AT LEAST FIVE VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTE EACH AFTERNOON, COLLECTIVELY DEDICATING AN ESTIMATED 2,700 DIRECT PROGRAM HOURS ANNUALLY. WHEN FACTORING IN FUNDRAISING AND EXTRA NEEDS, IT IS ESTIMATED TO REACH AT LEAST 3,000 HOURS. THEIR GENEROSITY AND COMMITMENT ARE INVALUABLE TO OUR PROGRAM'S SUCCESS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
