OPPORTUNITY CENTER

The Opportunity Center was founded in 1965 by parents and civic organizations dedicated to improving the lives of adults with mental and physical challenges. In those days society offered few services to adults with mental and physical challenges after graduation from high school. These young adults usually languished at home regressing in their development as anxious parents searched in vain for suitable day time programs. To address this important social need, The Opportunity Center first opened its doors in a small, borrowed space. In 1975 we purchased and moved into a large house in Fair Lawn, New Jersey which we expanded in 1985. While the program, the personnel and the clients may have changed since 1965, the love, dedication and commitment of the directors, staff and volunteers who seek to provide a caring and supportive environment and promote the growth and fulfillment of individuals with mental and physical challenges remains unchanged... The Opportunity Center is a year..
