About This Cause
Opportunity Village is a private not for profit organization serving Nevadans with intellectual disabilities. It is the largest organization of its type in the state, serving over 2,000 individuals and their families every year, supplying them with the programs and services they need to make choices, learn skills and shape their futures. . Opportunity Village is primarily a self-funded organization through its employment contracts and fundraising efforts. Opportunity Village was founded in 1954 by seven families. It was a place of hope and support for parents who had nowhere to go and no one to turn to. There were no services, no doctors, and no education for children who were considered less than human by many. Parents were told to put their loved ones in institutions, to forget about them. These seven families defied the professionals’ advice, and today Opportunity Village continues to be that island of hope and so much more.
