Our Work and
the College and Career Opportunity Landscape
The data is clear: An opportunity gap for students from under-resourced communities is plaguing our education and career development systems, siphoning off the success and professional promise of too many young people.
A four-year college degree continues to be one of the most powerful tools a young person can have to unlock a life of choice, opportunity, and long-term success.
However, for many students from under-resourced communities, that path is filled with barriers — not due to a lack of talent or ambition, but limited access and opportunity.
At OppNet, we see a future where every young person has a clear path to opportunity, purpose, and career success. And we’re building it together.
This is OppNet.
And this is the work we do to expand the promise of college, career, and postsecondary opportunity for all students.
What OppNet Fellows & Alumni Are Saying
“OppNet showed me the world of liberal arts colleges I hadn’t even known existed. We visited six different colleges in three days. OppNet showed us we are competitive for spots at these schools and finances don’t have to be a deciding factor. I was accepted to Lafayette, Brandeis, Union, and Hamilton.”
