Our Mission Statement

The Opportunity Project, a not-for-profit organization located in Milburn, N.J.,was founded in 1993 by people with brain injuries and their families. Our mission is to bridge the gap between medical services and offer vocational and social support systems to help our members rebuild and maintain satisfying lives. Membership is open to anyone over 18 with a brain injury regardless of their ability to pay.

We maintain a 14,000 square foot facility that houses the organizations administrative offices, library, lounge, conference area, kitchen facilities and computer work stations. A work oriented Clubhouse environment is provided where our members can through their work, build vocational skills, self-esteem and confidence in their ability to accomplish productive activities. Through the Clubhouse facilities members receive information about benefits, transportation,education and employment opportunities. The Clubhouse is not a traditional rehabilitation facility because it is set up around a work day rather than treatment groups or therapy.

Opportunity Project is an exciting opportunity for people with an acquired brain injury….

•  To achieve personal growth and development.

• To participate in a supportive, work-oriented community.

• To be valued for their daily contribution to the daily management of the Clubhouse.

• To have the chance to develop long-term skills.
  
  
• To participate in social and vocational activities, and achieve greater self-sufficiency.
