The Michele Fields Fund was established in May 2021, in loving memory of Michele Fields, a lifelong educator and an incredibly important member of our community. Michele was a devoted supporter of The Next Step Programs and attended every fundraising event. She held no other foundation closer to her heart.

In honor of Michele’s legacy, The Next Step Programs partnered with the Fields Family to establish the Michele Fields Fund. To date, the fund has raised over $50,000, which has been used to support our financial assistance program and open our new Community and Career Center in Doylestown, PA.

We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support we have received and we will continue to honor Michele’s legacy by providing opportunities for people with disabilities to learn, grow and succeed beyond high school.
