Residential services for people with developmental disabilities, including group homes and services for independent and semi independent living apartments or at home with their families. Opportunity Partners has 20 residences located throughout the Twin Cities. These community homes offer safe, well-maintained homes for clients.

Production services such as packaging, assembly, and direct mailing. These services, operated by Opportunity Partners, involve clients in “real life” employment situations. The production area serves as a training environment, teaching clients work skills, as well as a safety net employment situation for clients who lose their jobs in this uncertain economy.

Education includes classes that promote living skills as well as job training and community involvement activities. These classes help clients develop independent living skills. Clients learn how to balance a checkbook, how to grocery shop, and appropriate behaviors for the workplace. In addition, trips to local businesses provide opportunities for community integration.
