Ninth District Opportunity, Inc. is a private Non-Profit corporation founded in 1967 to carry out the mandate of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. NDO's primary purpose is to work in partnership with low-income people, promoting access to opportunities leading toward Self-Development, Self-Reliance, and Self-Determination. From December of 1964 until NDO's legal incorporation, OEO (Office of Economic Opportunity) funded community action activities were operated under the aegis of the Area Wide Human Resources Committee, a subcommittee of the Georgia Mountains Area Planning and Development Commission. Mr. Frank Moore directed these activities. However, the Federal government was serious about the nation's "War on Poverty"​ and required a board structure and other legal requirements which led to the emergence of a separate organization which opened its doors at 123 North Main Street on May 31, 1967 under the leadership of James "Jim"​ Redmond, NDO's first Executive Director. NDO has experienced a tremendous amount of change since those early days when board meetings were held in the chairman's home in Cleveland, Georgia. Our funding, which initially supported only a program developer and a secretary, has expanded to a staff of over 600 persons. Leadership has been described as "the art of changing a group from what is to what ought to be"​. NDO has, by this standard, certainly had its share of competent leadership under these chairpersons: Father Frank Ruff, Clarence N. Lambert, Schley H. Burrell, J. Marlin Smith, Mary Waldrip, Dr. Hugh I. Shott, II, William E Patterson, Fay J. Kight, Cullen C. Larson, Sam Sosebee, and Judge Garrison Baker. Even though the agency has undergone a variety of changes over the years, our stated goal of providing opportunities for low-income families to work and live in decency and dignity has remained unchanged. Throughout its existence, the agency has served continuously as a catalyst to, and an advocate for, the low-income residents of the NDO service area. NDO is currently under the leadership of Ms. Patsy Thomas, the organization's Executive Director, and Mr. Garrison Baker, Board Chairman.

The Georgia Advocacy Office, Inc. (GAO) is a private non-profit corporation, who's mission is to work with, and for oppressed and vulnerable individuals in Georgia who are labeled as disabled or mentally ill to secure their protection and advocacy. GAO is federally funded, and has been designated by Georgia as the Congressionally-mandated agency to implement Protection and Advocacy of individuals with disabilities throughout the state GAO has seven different programs, each rooted in a different piece of federal legislation. Every program uses a combination of self-advocacy supports, citizen involvement, staff advocacy, and legal advocacy to protect and advocate for the rights of Georgians with disabilities. We also focus on community building and partnering with self-advocates and community associates to widen the support network available in Georgia for people with disabilities and those who care about them. GAO supports Citizen Advocacy, an additional strategy to protect and advocate for individuals with developmental disabilities in Georgia. Citizen advocacy happens when a valued citizen, unpaid and independent of human services, creates an intentional relationship with a person who is at increased risk of abuse, neglect and social exclusion. The citizen advocate learns to understand, respond to, and represent the partner’s interests as if they were the advocate’s own. This allows the gifts and concerns of the person with the disability to be brought forth into the circles of ordinary community life. We believe relationships with people who are loyal and free from conflict of interest are what make all people safer. It also helps create a space for our communities to be enriched by all of its members.

OUR HEART IS FOR VULNERABLE CHILDREN When there are 140 million considered orphans worldwide, with over 400,000 of these children living in the United States, we know there’s work to be done. We partner with churches across the nation to provide what vulnerable children need most––strong families. We know many people are unaware of the child welfare crisis. We also know when people become aware, they many times would like to get involved...but aren’t sure where to start. That’s where we come in.  Promise686 equips churches to: • Raise awareness around the needs of vulnerable children • Help prevent children from going into foster care by supporting biological families in crisis • Recruit and equip foster & adoptive families • Create support systems for those caring for at-risk kids We call this model Family Advocacy Ministries (FAMs). Our vision is to fulfill God's promise "to set the lonely in families." FAMs create support systems for foster & adoptive families, and biological families in crisis. By equipping churches to create and lead successful FAMs, we’re working toward seeing every child in a safe and loving family, forever.
