Mission
Next Step Clubhouse (NSC) is modeled after The Exceptional Foundation in Birmingham Alabama and opened in September 2016, providing social and recreational programs for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We offer full day and day program options, 4 days per week. During the school year our participants are generally adults who have completed high school. Additional programing for school aged children includes our 10-week Summer Camp. The mission of Next Step Clubhouse is to provide a facility and programs where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can meet regularly and experience a broad range of social and recreational programs. In comparison to the general population, individuals with special needs often have limited opportunities for exercise, recreation and spending time with peers. These limitations can greatly impede their ability to practice healthy living skills and develop social relationships that are so important to
