The Expanded Learning Initiative (ELI) was designed in response to the need for intentional, high-quality, experiential, and equitable learning opportunities for young people in Tulsa Public Schools. Focusing on relationships, engagement, and social emotional wellbeing, high-quality out-of-school time (OST) learning has been shown to improve academic outcomes, reduce risk-taking behaviors, and mitigate trauma, such as what many young people experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Opportunity Project will support and coordinate OST/Expanded Learning efforts through site-coordinating agencies and partner organizations providing programming at Tulsa Public Schools sites.
As part of the initiative, The Opportunity Project is pleased to consider reimbursement funding to youth-serving organizations in Tulsa who are offering programming during the 2023-2024 School Year. To learn more about the Expanded Learning Initiative please access the resources below:
