Beyond The Diploma

Beyond the Diploma is a supportive space for young adults navigating high school to adulthood. Whether you’re pursuing college, employment, independent living, or simply figuring out what comes next, this group offers connection, guidance, and encouragement through every stage of transition.

Together, we explore practical life skills, self-advocacy, mental wellness, relationships, and personal growth in a welcoming, peer-supported environment. This is a place where self-advocates can ask questions, share experiences, and grow confidently into their next chapter.

Beyond The Diploma members will explore relevant and ongoing topics through bi-weekly virtual sessions on Zoom. Additionally, we have developed an online community forum through Discord (an app dedicated to creating communities) to continue discussing these topics while providing connections to resources.
