Redefining Disability in Minnesota
Founded in 1953 by a group of visionary parents who knew their teenage children with disabilities could be contributing members of the community if given a chance, Opportunity Partners has always focused on the abilities of people.
Today, Opportunity Partners is redefining “disability” through advanced learning, deep community support and meaningful work – proving that everyone, when given the opportunity, adds value to our world.
