Inclusive Groups, Real Friendships

Build friendships, confidence, and community through fun, inclusive social groups designed just for you.

Community happens on purpose

Our groups spark connection, build confidence, and help make belonging into a weekly habit.

  • We currently offer groups in Florham Park, Morristown, and Montclair. We’re adding new locations all the time, so reach out and we’ll help you find the closest one—or let us know where you'd love to see a group next!

  • Weekday groups usually meet in the late afternoon, while weekend groups typically happen in the early afternoon.


    Each group has a set schedule so members know what to expect. Get in touch with us to learn more about specific days, times, and upcoming openings in your area.

  • Many members use their self-directed support budgets to pay for group participation. We also accept private pay and offer financial assistance to help make our programs accessible to all. Pricing varies by location—reach out to learn the cost of a group near you.

What Makes our Groups so Special?

ElevateAbility’s Social Group isn’t your typical structured program—it’s a welcoming, laid-back space where adults with disabilities can connect, relax, and be themselves. It’s designed to reflect the natural, unstructured social moments many people experience in high school or college—late-night conversations, spontaneous game nights, and shared laughs over inside jokes.

While a facilitator is present, they aren’t running the show. Social Group is peer-driven and democratic—members shape the vibe, bring up topics, and decide what they want to do together. Whether it’s playing cards, talking about relationships, or planning a silly challenge, it’s all about self-expression, friendship, and having fun on your own terms.

Throughout the year, Social Groups also offer optional workshops—fun, skill-building sessions like:

  • Dating & healthy relationships

  • Cooking and meal planning

  • Gardening & Flower Arranging and MORE

It’s more than a program. It’s a place to belong, grow, and enjoy the kind of social life everyone deserves.
