Community Opportunities helps people get connected--working with family members and friends to build circles which support a person with a disability. These groups make sure services and supports are in place. And most critically, by expanding the circle, moms and dads have the security of knowing members of this committed network will be there throughout the life of their sons and daughters, making sure they will always be safe and happy.
At present, Community Opportunities depends upon the generosity of friends, small grants from public agencies and private foundations, and hours and hours of volunteer time to stay afloat. Our services are free. To grow into a truly viable alternative for people who experience disabilities, we must, for now, rely on small and large contributions from people just like you.
You can help us Expand the Circle through a tax-deductible contribution to Community Opportunities. Communities are strongest when we work together and make--and keep--commitments to each other. Thank you for your commitment to helping people with disabilities build rich, full lives of their choosing. Thank you for helping us--Expanding the Circle--one person at a time.

Additionally, Community Opportunities received funding through the Virginia Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services for a Community Inclusion Project. Funded for a two-year period, the project focused on supporting people who are institutionalized or in danger of institutionalization, helping each develop a network of friends in the community. The project helped the networks incorporate as microboards and explored ways microboards can assist with decision-making support. Community Opportunities partnered with Central Virginia Training Center, New River Valley Community Services and Wall Residences for the project.
