Located in Oak Park, IL, After Opps is a dynamic after-school and after-work program specifically designed for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our mission is to foster social engagement and community involvement through a wide range of recreational activities that reflect the interests and passions of our participants, lovingly referred to as the Warriors. With a collaborative approach, we work closely with the Warriors to shape each session’s activities, ensuring that their voices are integral to our program structure. Our commitment to a supportive environment allows for free self-expression and healthy relationship building in a nurturing setting. Operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm, we offer six sessions a year, each lasting seven weeks. Participants can join us one, two, or all three days a week for daily programs that include snacks and drinks, all while maintaining an engagement ratio of no more than five Warriors to one staff member. We strive to make our programs accessible to all eligible participants by offering a sliding fee scale based on family income, and we encourage families to complete our Financial Assistance Form during the intake process to take full advantage of our offerings.
