Opportunity Partners was founded in 1953 by parents who wanted a better life for their children with disabilities. From the very beginning, we have focused on the strengths and abilities of the people we serve.
Our journey started in a small house in Richfield, Minnesota, where a handful of young adults with disabilities performed light packaging work. This gave them a sense of pride and the chance to build work skills and friendships.
Over the years, we have grown significantly. Today, we provide Employment, Enrichment, and Residential Services to 1,200 people annually. Our award-winning, person-centered services help individuals with disabilities become active members of their communities, pursue rewarding careers, expand social connections, and achieve greater independence.
We know that when ALL people have a chance to be accepted and included, our world is better. We are stronger together!
