Support for Communities - Respite Programs

We serve individuals with diverse abilities across: group homes, community residences, day programs, private homes, local activity centers and all families seeking connection and support for people who deserve more regular, meaningful opportunities for expression, joy, and inclusion in the community.

Stride4ward creates those opportunities through:

Queens Museum: Art Access: Open Studios

Queens Zoo / Petting Zoo

Hall of Science

Sporting Events TBD: Mets and Yankees game day.
