Opportunity Knocks is comprised of Warriors who utilize voice, interdependence, experience, wellness, and social aspects of their lives to face the challenge of living with intellectual and developmental differences. By focusing on these aspects of their lives, warriors are able to thrive and influence their communities.
One Warrior who has particularly flourished by focusing on these aspects of her life is Candace T. Candace is a newer Warrior who brings a fresh perspective and a smile to every situation. While Candace is not from this area and her family is not near, she has embraced creating a community of her own, which includes her OK Warrior family. Candace is also involved in Arts of Life where she continues to seize every opportunity to show her talents and build up her community.
Candace’s positivity is contagious and she has positively impacted other Warriors in her short time being involved in programs. Candace brings a fresh perspective and experiences to OK. Candace has committed herself to utilizing her voice positively to help her friends when they’re having hard times. She also continues to grow in her love of art and has been an amazing artistic influence at Opportunity Knocks, bringing her voice to the community.
At Opportunity Knocks, we envision an inclusive community where all individuals experience access, presence, and support. Your support will help us continue to build that community. We are grateful for your support in keeping the Warrior Mission moving forward. Please consider a contribution.
Opportunity Knocks
Opportunity Knocks was founded in 2009 by families and embraced by a community that recognized significant opportunities to develop more substantial and responsive programs, support and partnerships where people with different abilities would be more present with interdependent connections. We strive to be co-creators of programs, enterprise, and partnerships that contribute to developing a community where people with different abilities are able to live, work, learn, grow and pursue a life of their design. As a 95% privately funded organization, we depend on the community’s generosity to advance our mission. Your support is appreciated.
