2014: Opportunity Networks

Together, We Strengthen Our Community

Opportunity Networks (ON) in Amherst, New Hampshire was the largest project that Building on Hope had completed at the time.  The entire building was taken down to steel and rebuilt from the ground up with the collaboration of the Opportunity Networks Board and Staff, Building on Hope and our invaluable network of donors and volunteers.

At its core, Opportunity Networks is committed to providing genuine vocational opportunities and activities that promote life enhancing skills for adults with developmental and acquired disabilities in Greater Nashua/Souhegan Valley community.  The project centered around the ‘dreams’ that the ON Board and Staff had to provide additional services and value to their clients.  Ideas like a fully interactive theatre, library, art space, commercial kitchen, movement room, computer lab, renovated offices and a ‘snoozelen room’ (something that no one from Building on Hope had ever heard of before).

The final result was all that and more.  Browse through the images below to see the work of our gracious volunteers.
