Community Advisory Groups

Opportunity Scholars relies on the input and connections of our
Community Advisory Groups for the regions we serve.
These groups consult, strategize and provide outreach for
the development of opportunities for our students.

Meet the Co-Chairs of Our Community Advisory Groups
