More than 70 percent of our students are living below the poverty level, with the majority from single-parent families. Overall, our students have little exposure to life outside their neighborhood. Summer Opportunities Initiative (SOI) is designed to open the eyes of our students to possibilities that otherwise may have been inaccessible to them.

SOI coordinates internships and other summer enrichment activities for participants to further their interests. During the summer, we meet weekly with participants to provide guidance and support.

Potential Long Term Impact

Project Message
This program has opened so many doors for me and allowed me to challenge myself personally and academically. They have also provided me with extra resources and opportunities that I need.
