Empowering, Employing, and Serving People with Disabilities

About us

Opportunity Village is a not-for-profit organization serving adults in the Southern Nevada community with intellectual and related disabilities, to enhance their lives and the lives of the families who love them. Opportunity Village is dedicated to helping people become the very best they can be. Through vocational training, community employment, day services, advocacy, arts and social recreation, citizens with severe disabilities are able to find new friends, realize future career paths, seek independence and community integration and unleash creative passions. Opportunity Village was founded in 1954 by a small group of local families who sought to improve the lives of their children with intellectual disabilities. Since then, Opportunity Village has grown to become Nevada’s largest private, not-for-profit community rehabilitation program, serving nearly 2,000 people annually through vocational training, community job placement, art and life skill enrichment, advocacy, and social recreation programs. More than just a charity, Opportunity Village operates four employment training center campuses and a thrift store in Southern Nevada. Almost entirely self-funded, Opportunity Village is possible because southern Nevadans realize the value in supporting their neighbors with intellectual disabilities. In our society, people with disabilities live their lives being told what they can’t do. Opportunity Village strives to break that stigma, encouraging the people it serves to follow their dreams.
