At the Opp, we believe that high-quality programming is our guiding star. We engage youth-serving organizations like the Tulsa Zoo, in the continuous quality improvement cycle through rigorous assessments and program observations, focusing on safety, efficacy, and youth development.

To uphold the standards of high-quality expanded learning in Tulsa, the Opp conducts assessments and program observations during the fall and spring semesters. These evaluations encompass safety, efficacy, and the impact of programming on youth development.

We ensure that afterschool and summer programs offered are enriching, high-quality experiences that youth are excited to attend.

The Tulsa Health Department's school health programs focus on two age groups: elementary-aged children (Pre-K through 5th or 6th grade, depending on the school district) and middle to high school students (5th or 6th grade through 12th grade).

The elementary program aims to improve both the health and academic achievement of Tulsa County schoolchildren. It does so through collaboration with students, schools, and the community, aligning health and learning through comprehensive nutrition and health education.

The middle and high school program centers around the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), which empowers young adults to make responsible decisions and educates them about the consequences of sexual activity.
