For over 50 years, committed individuals, local agencies, and volunteers make it possible for New Opportunities Inc. to provide high-quality services to individuals and families throughout our seven-county service area. With the help of our Board of Directors, Head Start Policy Council members, Coalition members, Leadership Team, talented and committed staff, volunteers, representatives of private industry, Federal, State, County, local governments, and the media who assists in our efforts.
