Community Integration Services
We are working to reconnect with our community partners, the businesses and nonprofits where the people we support provided excellent remunerated work and volunteer services. Opportunities, Inc. receives no reimbursement dollars for the time and planning for these activities.
Entrepreneurial Programming
We believe in supporting the entrepreneurial spirit! Throughout the pandemic, we have worked one-on-one with selected participants to help them pursue their own vision of work – baking for a Farmer’s Market, knitting, starting a paper shredding business, videography, photography, as well as connecting people to all the bookkeeping resources necessary to run a business. These are just a handful of the activities we worked on together.
