Through its Fellows program, the Opportunity Network (OppNet) offers college and career preparation, professional skills building, SAT/ACT prep, and internships to students of color from 11th grade through college completion. In order to better prepare Fellows to navigate the daily inequity, exclusion, and discrimination they face when placed in predominantly white institutions, OppNet will develop a toolkit, lead program staff in equity and inclusion training, create skills-based lessons for students, and update its career fluency curriculum and guidance materials.
This grant will support the development of an equity and inclusion toolkit and training activities to prepare participants for college and careers.
