About Us
Our Piece of the Pie ® (OPP ®) is a leading youth development agency that helps urban young people, ages 14 to 24, become successful adults, by effectively collaborating and partnering with schools, colleges, community agencies and businesses to promote independence and economic success.
The organization has a fierce focus on helping young people, regardless of any challenges and adversity they have endured, to maximize their potential and lead productive lives. OPP engages urban youth in long-term relationships and program services to help youth complete high school, receive occupational skill certificates, obtain 2- or 4-year college degrees and/or obtain long-term employment.
OPP offers programs for youth and young adults that provide a safe harbor from the streets,
work-based challenges and activities where they can experience success and personal growth,
and caring adults who are trained and eager to engage them. Programs help youth attain skills in leadership and business.
In August of 2009, OPP, in partnership with the Hartford Public Schools, opened Opportunity High School. The school focuses on students who are over-aged and under-credited and who are at risk of dropping out of high school. Read more about Opportunity High School.
