Empowering Young Adults | Instilling Independence | Maximizing Potential
Welcome to Nova Stride Support — where young adults gain the tools, confidence, and guidance to thrive in their transition to independence. Our team of certified educators and executive functioning coaches takes a holistic, whole-person approach to supporting each individual’s post-secondary goals. Through personalized case management, health and wellness planning, academic tutoring, executive functioning instruction, and support with obtaining and maintaining employment, we empower young adults to build self-sufficiency, meaningful connections, and long-term success in school, work, and life. At Nova Stride, we believe every young adult deserves the opportunity to step into adulthood with strength, balance, and purpose.
We come to you
Our certified staff meet clients in the community or on their college campus. Our customized approach makes services accessible, flexible, and convenient.
Who We Support
Nova Stride supports young adults who are navigating the transition into adulthood and seeking the skills, confidence, and structure to thrive. We work with individuals who are graduating high school, beginning college or trade programs, or finding their footing in adulthood. Many of the young adults we serve experience challenges with executive functioning, social interactions, maintaining a job, anxiety, depression, or daily life management, and benefit from guided support to reach their goals. While we specialize in working with individuals who have had IEPs, we also partner with high school students preparing for post-graduation, as well as young adults who had 504 plans or general education backgrounds and need additional help launching successfully into adulthood.
Our Services help young adults gain structure, confidence, and independence through:
Individualized executive functioning coaching and goal setting
Academic tutoring, test preparation, and progress monitoring
Support with obtaining and maintaining employment
Health and wellness planning grounded in the health triangle — nurturing physical, mental, and social well-being
Flexible delivery — we meet students where they are — on campus, in the community, or online
Job coaching, career readiness, and community participation support
Practical “adulting” skills such as organization, communication, and daily living tasks
Collaboration with parents, schools, and outside providers to ensure a whole-person approach
