“Next Step has helped me not let my limitations get in the way of achieving anything despite any setbacks and obstacles along the way. I’m a stronger, happier and more confident individual.”⠀
⠀
The use of music at Next Step programs help teen and young adults living with cancer, HIV, and rare genetic disorders to see their diagnosis in a new light, to find a new way of expressing themselves, to look at the obstacles caused by their chronic illness in a new way.⠀

“These people have a sense of who I am before I even fully introduce myself. Somehow because of everything they’ve personally gone through with life-threatening diseases and other challenges, they just “get it”.’⠀
⠀
Next Step programs foster a sense of community where teens and young adults living with cancer, HIV, and rare genetic disorders in which they feel free to talk about their disease, to shed that part of their identity for short time, and to just be themselves.⠀
