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.

At Goshen Valley, we believe kids in foster care deserve better. Kids enter foster care due to abuse, abandonment, or neglect from their families, and many youths are placed in negative environments and separated from their siblings. Youth aging out of care experience high arrest, addiction, and homelessness rates. With help, the youth at Goshen is beating the odds. Over the past 24 years, Goshen Valley has expanded and now has four programs, Goshen Valley Boys Ranch, Goshen New Beginnings, Goshen Homes, and Goshen Therapeutic Services. Each program has a unique focus and ministry to foster children in Georgia.
