Our Piece of the Pie (OPP) provides intensive and long-term case management services to youth (ages 14 – 24) across Hartford, Connecticut. Through the agency’s cornerstone program, Pathways to Success, youth development staff specialists help each young person develop an individualized education and employment plan for making a successful transition into adulthood. The ultimate goals set for each young person are: a vocational school certification or a degree from a two- or four-year college or university, and/or full-time unsubsidized employment. Through Pathways, youth have access to several educational and job readiness programs that help them reach these goals.

During 2006 – 07, OPP served more than 3,500 youth — 88 OPP youth graduated from a two- or four-year college or university, 260 found unsubsidized employment for six months or more, and 301 were enrolled in college or a vocational program.
