About Step N Up 

​

Step N Up is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering adults with diverse needs. We offer inclusive social experiences, therapeutic recreational activities, and opportunities for physical movement. Our mission is to create safe, engaging spaces where individuals can connect, express themselves, and engage in activities that promote independence, health, and well-being.

Inspired by the success of Baltimore’s Club1111, our goal is to establish Club1111 RVA, a fully accessible social and recreational space that fosters inclusion and joy. We are also committed to building a permanent community recreation center where individuals with diverse needs can participate in fitness programs, dance events, social gatherings, and career development activities.

Through partnerships with local businesses, food vendors, and disability service providers, Step N Up aims to bridge the gap in recreational opportunities for adults with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves a place to belong, move, and thrive, and we are dedicated to making that vision a reality.

Our long-term goal is to secure a permanent space that will serve as a recreation center and inclusive nightclub for adults with diverse needs. This venue will provide structured programs, access to nutritious food, and a strong support network to enhance the quality of life for those we serve.

Through movement, music, and shared experiences, Step N Up is building a more inclusive and vibrant community—one step at a time.
