The Next Move Program

Next Move is a npo organization that creates job training & jobs for young adults with disabilities. We believe that with proper accommodations-anyone can work.

The Next Move Program is a year round employment internship and externship program for young adults with disabilities. Our internship program is run at our Westover Hills neighborhood bakery, Tablespoons. Whether in our professional kitchen, point of sales counter, or cafe environment- our interns learn critical employment skills with hands on support. We have also partnered with local business and larger corporations in RVA to provide externship experiences allowing us to expand the number of job tasks interns can learn. Our mission is to provide much-needed, individualized, work readiness skills for young adults entering the workforce. Often providing transition services for local schools districts we are also Medicaid provider, a Virginia Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) provider and are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Our programing is created, managed, supervised by certified special education teachers. For more information visit: www.thenextmoveprogram.org

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.
