Our Piece of the Pie, Inc. (OPP®) empowers youth with the key competencies needed to overcome barriers and succeed in education and employment. 

Who We Serve

Our Theory of Change

Our Theory of Change is a transformational tool that connects…

WHAT OPP does,

WHO OPP targets for services,

WHY OPP does its work, 

HOW OPP expects to be held accountable and achieve its results

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

A framework and competency to address issues of injustice by establishing within the agency a shared language to examine data, understand underlying conditions and identify root causes of inequities affecting the population served.

Deliberately Developmental Organization 

A new way of working together to develop an agency-wide culture that demands transparency and learning where everyone is working every day on developing themselves, one another and our youth. At OPP, everyone builds our culture.  Errors are treated as opportunities for growth and everyone is responsible to encourage others to learn and grow.
