Big Wave Group

The Big Wave Center is a place to belong for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout San Mateo County. Through the Big Wave Center and Big Wave Farm, Big Wave offers housing, employment pathways, continuing education, wellness and recreation opportunities, and inclusive community experiences that support lifelong well-being, personal growth, independence, and belonging.

The Center includes housing for 40 adults with IDD, including scholarship apartments reserved for residents with financial need. Nonprofit One Step Beyond, Inc. operates the Adult Day Program and Culinary & Catering Academy, providing continuing education, life skills development, workforce training, and employment opportunities.

Adjacent to the Big Wave campus is the Big Wave Farm, where Bay Area adults with IDD visit through Day Programs, and help care for farm chickens, learn gardening skills, and participate in nutritional education.
