The Opp works to create, amplify, and leverage relevant professional learning opportunities grounded in the city’s OST standards for positive youth development and high-quality programming. We do this by offering free, synchronous (in-person) and asynchronous (online) professional learning opportunities to youth-workers and educators. The Opp serves over 50 youth-serving organizations in Tulsa, as well as Tulsa Public Schools educators and support staff and youth. Through The Opp’s online learning system, over 2,000 educators and youth workers were trained in positive youth development and social emotional learning (SEL) best practices.

About SEL Methods:

The Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Methods workshops have been developed to help adults improve their practice in supporting social, emotional, and cognitive development in their programs.

About Youth Work Methods:

The Youth Work Methods are powerful strategies that build on more than 50 years of research and practice in positive youth development. These interactive methods are modeled on the Weikart Center’s pyramid of program quality and designed to give point-of-service staff practical skills that can be implemented immediately.
