The Opportunity Network
The Opportunity Network (OppNet) was founded in New York City with our signature Fellows program that provides robust college access and persistence supports as well as dynamic career exposure and readiness, including 5 summers of internerhips or enrichment programs, for 950 students across 6+ years, starting the summer after 10th grade through to college graduation. Fellows' outcomes far exceed national trends with 92% graduating from college within six years and 89% securing gainful employment or graduate school admissions within six months of college graduation. In addition to the Fellows Program, OppNet has an immersive capacity-building Partnerships program for schools and youth-serving organizations across the country looking to accelerate postsecondary and workforce readiness for their students. This year, OppNet worked with more than 40 schools and organizations across 20 cities reaching more than 8,000 students nationally.
