Next Steps is something of an open secret.

The philosophy that small steps transform into large accomplishments is one that has been circulating for thousands of years. The secret is as simple as walking—one step at a time. This fundamentally simple process can help you change the resistance in your life—making small achievable and measurable moves toward employment, education, and housing. Each step accomplished leads you comfortably to a second, and then a third, and so on, until one day the change you desire is mastered.

We work with anyone who wants to make positive changes in his or her life. We will work with you as long as you need help and want to participate in our program. Most important, we will follow-up and stay with you as you accomplish your Next Steps.

We will help you set and take Next Steps toward your goals, provide encouragement, needed information, referrals, and other resources that will help you reach your goals.

We work with a wide range of nonprofits and agencies to which we refer participants for other appropriate assistance in taking Next Steps.

 

The rewards of applying to the Next Step Program in your life

Each participant that visits Next Steps comes with very different individual needs, although the needs usually involve employment, housing, family life, or recovery from an illness or addiction. Our basic approach to providing assistance is called Next Steps, a unique self-help program that promotes change, dignity, and self-reliance in people who are in need. Once you enter The Next Step Program, a volunteer will meet with you to set personal goals and plan your next steps. Our volunteers help you take the small actions that will help you change your life in great ways. By taking small steps over time instead of expecting dramatically large change to occur rapidly, change accumulates bit-by-bit, step-by-step.

If you are trying to achieve a difficult or frightening goal, a small step in a safe, non-threatening environment may be just what you need to realize your goals. Fear and uncertainty are frequently the reasons people do not achieve their goals. When you join The Next Step Program, our volunteers help you achieve your goals in a supportive environment of coaching, support, and services.
