Open Avenues is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) job training facility for people with disabilities.  The individuals served by Open Avenues become more independent, more employable, and are active and productive members of the communities of Northwest Arkansas.  

Open Avenues Spring Fling is our signature event and our way to establish vital financial support for Open Avenues, and promote Open Avenues’ mission in Northwest Arkansas.

Over 36 years ago, a group of parents joined forces to create an organization that could offer compassionate care and education for adults with disabilities, age 16 years and over.  Starting in 1975 with 11 clients, what was then called The Adult Development Center (ADC), evolved and expanded to now be called Open Avenues.  Open Avenues, located in a new facility on N 24th Street in Rogers, currently serves 120 individuals on a daily basis; disabilities such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, visual or hearing impairment, traumatic brain injury, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.  Open Avenues plays a significant role in the Northwest Arkansas community as it provides vital services to people with disabilities and as it contributes to the economy of the area.  Our unwavering commitment is to help people with disabilities be a part of the community, instead of apart from the community. 

We hope to see you there!
