Eliminating Barriers, Creating Opportunities
For more than 60 years, Making Opportunity Count has been part of the fabric of North Central Massachusetts—working in partnership with communities to respond to evolving needs and create lasting impact. What began as a small community action effort has grown into a network of programs that reach individuals and families at every stage of life. We work across systems, collaborate with local partners, and stay closely connected to the people we serve to ensure our work remains relevant, responsive, and rooted in the communities around us.
Our mission is to empower individuals and families to achieve economic security by eliminating barriers and creating opportunities. We are dedicated to creating opportunities for people to achieve their full potential and build brighter futures.
At Making Opportunity Count, we understand that everyday barriers—like unstable housing, limited access to care, or financial strain—can make it difficult to move forward. Through compassion, trust, and a deep understanding of each person’s experience, we work alongside individuals and families to reduce these challenges, strengthen stability, and create a clearer path forward.
At Making Opportunity Count, we create opportunities by recognizing each person’s unique strengths and supporting their growth. Through teamwork, trust, and compassion, we connect individuals and families to community resources, support, and pathways within their communities to achieve lasting economic stability.
