A purely community-based program — San Diego is our facility
Next Level Day Program is not a traditional, facility-based day program. We don't operate out of one building where participants spend their day. Instead, San Diego itself is our program space. Each day, participants are picked up door-to-door and engage in structured activities, vocational learning, wellness, and real-world experiences at community venues throughout San Diego County.
The community is our classroom — and our fleet gets us there
Instead of staying inside one building all day, our participants experience San Diego through structured, supervised community-based learning. Our professionally maintained fleet of premium Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans — each wrapped in the Next Level brand with GPS tracking and a clean, modern appearance — safely transports participants throughout San Diego County.

The community is our classroom
