“Opportunity Village holds a special place in the heart of every Nevadan. The brave parents who first came forward in 1954 and said that their children with intellectual disabilities deserved to live good, fulfilling lives, founded a tiny organization serving thousands of people with disabilities in award-winning programs that teach job skills, employ them in good jobs and offer needed services. The organization saves Nevada and its citizens millions of dollars every year by doing this privately. Opportunity Village has rewarded Nevada by making it a better place for every citizen, regardless of his or her level of ability.”
– Harry Reid, former majority leader of the U.S. Senate
