The Impact of Your Support

Together, We’re Unlocking Potential Every Day

In 2024, Opportunity Partners served over one thousand people across dozens of residences, job sites, and community settings throughout the Twin Cities. Many participated in more than one service.

         

Sisters Served by OP for 50 Years

Each morning, Darlene (Dar) and Denise meet in an Opportunity Partners classroom. They clink their coffee cups as a toast to remember their parents and smile as they chat about their upcoming day. Dar plans to do research on her tablet, and Denise thinks she’ll join the group making apple pies. Both look forward to creating some art and to an upcoming lunch with their older sister, Debbie.

With the support of generous donors like you, Dar and Denise have built lives filled with connection, independence, and purpose. For nearly 50 years, OP has been there as they’ve grown, learned new skills, built meaningful relationships, and continued to thrive in a community where they belong.

Meet David Spragg: Building a Brighter Future

With the support of generous donors like you, David has built a life full of independence, purpose, and community. Through personalized employment services at Opportunity Partners, he gained skills in packaging, kitting, and assembly while building the confidence to pursue a community job in the near future. With your support, David is not just working, he is thriving, contributing his talents, and living with pride in his community.

“I give because I believe in creating opportunities for everyone to thrive.”
