Our Piece of the Pie, Inc. (OPPĀ®) empowers youth with the key competencies needed to overcome barriers and succeed in education and employment.
Our Piece of the Pie, Inc. is a nonprofit with a mission to empower youth with the key competencies needed to overcome barriers and succeed in education and employment. OPP works with Hartford area youth ages 14-24, who face obstacles including disengagement from school, poverty, justice involvement, welfare system involvement, and unemployment.
We work with youth to create a road map to the future with goals for personal development, academic achievement, and workforce readiness. Every youth has a plan that identifies barriers along with supports and services needed for youth to make their dreams a reality. Each youth is paired with a trained, caring, and proactive Youth Development Specialist acting as a guide and mentor, providing high touch case management. OPP clinicians interact with youth within the programs, build trust, and are there to provide individual counseling as needed.
