Stride Toward the Future

KF-STRIDE is a program designed to help individuals, particularly young adults, develop strategies for understanding their personal strengths, and expressing them to others in order to achieve their goals.

The KF-STRIDE Approach

Curriculum that focuses on helping you be the best version of yourself, by identifying and expressing your personal strengths.

The Challenge

Starting with Strengths

Individuals who are neurodiverse and those with disabilities seek help to achieve their personal goals. Unfortunately, many treatments can focus on trying to fix what an individual is doing wrong, without teaching someone what they are doing right. The KF-STRIDE training program does the opposite. We start with strengths to empower youth to recognize what skills and talents they bring to a place of employment.

Into The Interview

The first step in getting a job is impressing your future employer. But how do you do that? KF-STRIDE Into the Interview is a 10-lesson program to help you succeed in job interviews. With the skills you’ll learn in this program, you’ll gain confidence in talking about yourself to an interviewer.

I loved being involved with Kessler Foundation to help provide feedback on KF-STRIDE. Kessler Foundation is an organization that helps us puts our puzzle together and listens when we speak.

David, Neurodiverse Adult

With KF-STRIDE, my son was able to identify his strengths, determine how those strengths can help him in the workplace, and he had opportunities to practice his interviewing skills.

Lori, Mother of Neurodiverse Adult

When I trained students with the KF-STRIDE program, it was so exciting to see them learning more about themselves and gaining confidence. The students really enjoyed the animations as well, so much more than listening to a teacher!

Mikayla Haas, Job Coach

KF-STRIDE made me realize I’m really creative. I’m not as nervous about interviews anymore.

William, Neurodiverse Adult

I am excited to start teaching KF-STRIDE interview skills to our clients. At our center (JFCS Re-Launch Career Services), students will use the KF-STRIDE program in addition to other lessons and workshops… We hope that local employers can see the opportunities available to both them and our students. A win-win indeed!
