Guidance and transition planning services for students preparing for life after high school.

Who we work with

NextStepU is designed to support students who are preparing for the transition to adulthood. Many of the students we work with have Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or receive transition services through their schools, but our support is helpful for any student who would benefit from structured guidance during this stage.

Services may be accessed through family support, school partnerships, or referral through programs that fund transition and vocational services.
