At Great Prospects, Inc., growth doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens out in the community, alongside friends, laughter, and real-world experiences. This Atlanta area nonprofit is dedicated to empowering teens and adults with disabilities through engaging, age-appropriate programs that build independence, confidence, and meaningful connections. Serving participants across Cobb, Fulton, Cherokee, Gwinnett, and DeKalb counties, Great Prospects creates spaces where individuals don’t just participate they thrive.
Founded nearly two decades ago, Great Prospects began with one mother’s vision. After her daughter aged out of the school system, she saw a gap too many families were facing: a lack of meaningful, social, and growth-focused opportunities for young adults with disabilities. So she created one. What started as a safe, welcoming space for her daughter and friends quickly grew into an organization rooted in a simple but powerful belief, that everyone deserves the chance to become the best version of themselves while remaining active, valued members of their community.
Today, that vision comes to life each day under the leadership of Program Director Tabitha Todle. Known for her hands-on, compassionate approach, Tabitha designs programs that balance structure with fun and independence with support. Whether it is practicing life skills during a community outing or building friendships at a social event, Tabitha ensures participants are encouraged, challenged, and celebrated every step of the way. Her focus on real-world growth helps participants gain confidence and a strong sense of belonging.
Great Prospects offers a variety of community-based day programs, enrichment opportunities, and social events. Favorites include Saturday Fun Day, seasonal social dances, and daily activities focusing on life skills, art, and technology. These aren’t just activities they’re opportunities to try new things, build routines, make friends, and gain confidence in everyday situations.
Guiding the organization is Founder & CEO Michelle Jericevich, a mother and proud East Cobb resident for 35 years, whose desire to build a future of possibility for her daughter and her friends became the foundation of Great Prospects. With deep roots in the community and a strong commitment to advocacy and inclusion, Michelle ensures Great Prospects remains responsive to families while continuing to grow its impact across the metro area.
Through dedicated leadership and strong community sup port, Great Prospects, Inc. continues to open doors helping individuals build confidence, discover their strengths, and form meaningful connections that last well beyond the program day. It’s more than a nonprofit; it’s a place where possibility feels real, growth feels joyful, and everyone belongs.
