Mission

OPARC believes that all individuals deserve the human right to be valued members of society regardless of their intelligence or physical capabilities. Many people with disabilities have been denied the training, employment, and social opportunities that make people valued members of their communities. OPARC exists to make training, employment, and social opportunities available and to be the champion for thousands of people with disabilities in the Inland Empire and Los Angeles County.

Today, OPARC serves more than 700 developmentally disabled adults in Southern California.

Vision

OPARC will:

  • Provide programs to assist clients to become active, valued members of society who engage in social interaction and live with a sense of purpose.
  • Be a leader in creating effective job placement and engaging community work activity.
  • Recruit, train and retain highly qualified and capable staff members to provide the best possible services and care.
  • Maintain a highly noticeable presence and enhanced reputation in the community.
  • Build a solid financial foundation, lessening a dependence on government funding, and through annual giving campaigns, grant programs, and strategic fundraising programs
  • Enhance stakeholder participation in the organization.
