Our Why

At Strides, we believe every young adult deserves to live a life filled with purpose, connection, and dignity. We support teens and young adults with developmental differences as they explore their strengths, build daily routines that bring meaning, and discover purpose in all kinds of places, at work, in the community, and within themselves. Every moment matters, and we’re here to walk beside them, helping turn everyday experiences into empowering steps forward.

Every step forward, no matter how small, is still a stride.
