A MESSAGE
FROM THE FOUNDER
Opportunity Builders was created from both lived experience and decades of community advocacy. Throughout my life, I have worked closely with families, youth, and individuals who were trying to navigate systems that were complex, overwhelming, and often not designed with them in mind.
I have seen firsthand the challenges faced by youth aging out of foster care, families raising children with disabilities, individuals struggling to access mental health and healthcare services, and communities impacted by systemic inequities. Too often, people are expected to navigate these barriers alone.
Opportunity Builders exists to change that.
Desiree Woodson
This organization was built on the belief that everyone deserves support without judgment, advocacy without barriers, and opportunity without limitation. Our work is intentional, compassionate, and rooted in community. We focus on listening, guiding, and walking alongside those we serve as they move toward stability and independence.Opportunity Builders is not just an organization — it is a commitment to advocacy, accountability, and hope. I am honored to lead this work and grateful for every partner, supporter, and community member who believes in building stronger, more equitable futures together.
