Our Story

The Next Move Program is a year-round internship program for young adults with developmental disabilities. The program is managed and supervised by our team of certified special education teachers. Students are placed as a group within a business in order to gain much needed work experience. Students spend 50% of their day in a classroom onsite at the business learning work readiness skills, social skills, and life skills. According to employee surveys and interviews, host companies benefit from this program with boosts in productivity, increased diversity, improved corporate culture, and a lasting legacy in the community. In addition to the organizational benefits outlined above, The Next Move Program addresses the unemployment crisis for individuals with disabilities in this community: · 22,000 students with disabilities graduate each year in the Commonwealth of Virginia. · Almost 70% of these students graduate from school and are unable to find or keep employment. With your help, we can provide both transferable work experiences and education to empower these young adults students to reach their potential. Everyone deserves the opportunity to work. We are currently looking for business partnerships to help meet this dire need in our community.
