Annual Report 2022

The Power of One

inspires IDEAS for everyone!

Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility = Success

COMMUNIT Y IMPACT REPORT July 2021 through June 2022

Message from the CEO and Board Chair Each one of us has hopes, dreams and desires, no matter our abilities.

Our world is an open canvas of learning, achieving and succeeding – but we need each other to inspire IDEAS. Opportunity Enterprises inspires IDEAS that bring about change.

Inclusivity bonds our clients and communities. Diversity celebrates different backgrounds and abilities. Equity gives clients the tools to thrive. Accessibility breaks barriers.

It is OE’s mission to offer individuals with disabilities as many opportunities as possible to maximize their self-sufficiency and enrich their quality of life. While this is our mission, it takes many people to fulfill it. OE can do what it does because of an amazing community of caring people. The quality of the programs and services we provide is possible because of our dedicated Board of Directors who provide diligent oversight, 360 staff members who always place the needs of our clients first, and individuals like you who thoughtfully give resources and time in support of OE. At Opportunity Enterprises, we firmly believe in the Power of One – the idea that it only takes one person to make a difference. One person’s loving care of an individual with disabilities, one person’s gift of time or treasure to make our mission possible, and one person’s advocacy for a more inclusive community.

These small acts lead to big IDEAS that transform. The Power of One. The Power of YOU. Your support of Opportunity Enterprises inspires IDEAS for EVERYONE! Thank you.

Neil Samahon, President and CEO

John Freyek, Board Chair

Together, we broke ground!

On May 25, 2022 – what started as a blustery and rainy day turned to sunshine and smiles as shovels hit the ground signifying the ceremonial ground breaking of the Opportunity Enterprises new Lakeside Respite Center. This exciting effort is coming to fruition thanks to campaign co-chairs, Marc and Tracy Ruiz, the forward-thinking of the steering committee, and so many generous individuals and corporations who care about people with disabilities and their families. The center will house peace, laughter and acceptance by opening its doors in Summer 2023.

Berglund Construction is helping to build the center’s large, accessible kitchen, multiple living rooms, wings designed for children and adults, and 21 beds for overnight visits. Also included will be a fully accessible treehouse in the woods of the back of the building. Lt. Governor, Suzanne Crouch, made a special visit to help OE celebrate this $6.7 million effort where individuals with disabilities can enjoy activities and companionship while offering caregivers a much-deserved break.

At the groundbreaking, President and CEO of OE, Neil Samahon, succinctly stated, “I see our future, and this future looks very bright indeed!”

“What you are doing is just one more step in the journey to provide quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. And that, my friends, is the greatest gift you can give…”

Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch

Year in Review Success Inspired by You!

EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE This past year, two of OE’s five Day Programs were merged into one. Trend and Quest became Thrive providing clients with a larger Day Program area, re-connection of friends that were in two separate programs, and an entirely new curriculum that now includes a library, physical recreation and construction.

FIRST HOUR CLUB FUNDS POSSIBILITIES OE’s employee family is amazing! They dedicate their time and talent working alongside the men and women we serve in their learning and growth. OE’s employee team also gave of their treasure through an Employee Giving Campaign. Many employees joined the campaign’s First Hour Club donating the first hour of their pay monthly – giving over $10,000 back to the very programs and services they help implement.

CARF ACCREDITED! An in-depth review of our services underwent an on-site survey process provided through the Commission on Accreditation of Facilities (CARF). Accreditation by this international organization signals a service provider’s commitment to continually improving services, encouraging feedback, and serving the community.

CARF three-year accreditation represents the highest accreditation an organization can receive. Our recent accreditation demonstrates adhering to high standards in order to provide the best possible care so people, like you, can trust the services OE provides.

PARTNERSHIP PROVIDES ARTISTIC PROMISE Over the last year, OE and Art Barn School of Art solidified their partnership with the support of generous sponsors who believe all individuals can express themselves through art. Interested in helping the process of creative expression from our clients, Art Barn’s classes culminated in two art exhibits where clients had the opportunity to showcase and sell their work to art enthusiasts.

RECOGNIZING ALL ABILITIES OE’s President and CEO, Neil Samahon, was invited to speak at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI) conference held in April. Samahon spoke to an international audience of scrap industry leaders about employing people with disabilities to unlock the potential of work abilities. His presentation highlighted that many individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are known to be dependable, engaged, motivated, have outstanding attendance rates, and are highly attentive to their quality of work. Through Samahon’s presentation, conference attendees learned that individuals with disabilities are often undervalued and underutilized, yet are an untapped employee pool that can help quell the growing workforce crisis.

Companies who hire those with disabilities report: Up to 30% less turnover in staff • 28% higher revenue • 200% higher net income Improved productivity • Enhanced reputation OE’s social enterprises were created to support our mission, but they have transformed into productive and impactful businesses which inspire inclusivity, diversity, equity and accessibility. All of this equals success for our workforce, our communities and you!

We prioritize hiring men and women of all abilities because we know, when given opportunities, every employee brings a unique set of skills and talents to their role and our regional workforce.

Chances are that some businesses you frequent are kept looking their best because of OE’s Clean Team. Last year, Clean Team renewed its focus by providing vocational training to individuals of all abilities through OE’s Vocational Training and Empowerment Center (VTEC) which prepared trainees for successful positions as ISSA credentialed custodial professionals. Clean Team renewed contracts with many local businesses – supporting our efforts in contributing to this workforce industry with professional and meticulous working individuals.

OutSource Solutions OutSource Solutions focuses on fulfilling assembly needs of companies through the talents of our diverse team who works to assemble equipment with much attention to detail and quality control.

PATRICK KANSOER Social Enterprises Staff of the Year - SecureShred Patrick is an incredible individual with an outstanding work ethic. He made great professional improvements since working for SecureShred, and he continues to grow and act as a leader and role model to other staff.

Patrick arrives every morning ready for work, tackles assigned responsibilities in a positive manner, focuses on work, and completes it to the best of his ability. Patrick does well in all areas, but excels as a tote container cleaner. His innovative technique of cleaning such containers, developed by him, is impressive. He is sharing this technique benefiting other staff and SecureShred with his knowledge and skill.

SAMANTHA BROBECK Daily Living Skills Client of the Year When Sam, as she is affectionately called, first came to Opportunity Enterprises’ Daily Living Skills program, she had difficulty entering and exiting the bus that transports her to and from this day program. Transitioning from one program area to another proved to be a monumental obstacle for Sam. Staff, recognizing Sam’s challenges, now prepare her prior to a transition giving her time to process change. She also follows a routine schedule, helping her tremendously. Staff work with Sam on verbal cues and repeating such cues. Today, Sam has many favorite words that she is using to create simple sentences for communication. Samantha knows many names of her peers and staff, engages in activities and works on writing her name!

LINDA LONG Renewed Horizons Client of the Year Linda keeps a positive attitude demonstrating much kindness in the face of many challenges.

Camp Lakeside All Abilities. All Ages. All Year Long.

Beginning as a collaborative partnership with Porter County Parks two years ago, an inclusive camp was introduced into our communities. The recent summer, OE took a step further by implementing its own summer youth camp for school-aged children of ALL abilities. On June 6, 2022 – Camp Lakeside opened its program as Northwest Indiana’s only camp specially designed for kids of all abilities and ages. Over 100 campers participated in all or some of Camp Lakeside’s eight-week summer sensation. Bold adventures, new friendships, and an appreciation for individuality was infused in having FUN on 158 acres near Lake Eliza.

MATT LEUCK-MYERS Residential Client of the Year All of us have goals that inspire us to do our best.

Matt, Residential Client of the Year, is no different.

He had an incredible desire to achieve two personal goals! With the support of his Qualified Intellectual Disability Professional and staff member, Matt achieved his goal – including purchasing his own new car of choice. Achieving his objectives is another step in Matt’s journey of becoming more independent and self-sufficient. Matt is a true example of how determination, quality work, and a supportive team can accomplish big goals.
