Our team at Operation Opportunity is honored to be working with our first students as we roll out our pilot program for the Gold Star Scholars Project today. We will be closely monitoring our initial mentor-mentee interactions for feedback and areas of improvement as we continue to expand our reach.
We are indebted to our partners and those who have donated to help make our vision a reality. Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) is providing our mentors with a specialized training program so they can most effectively interact with their mentees. Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation (CFPF) has introduced us to many of the families we will be working with. TutorTrove has graciously provided us with a platform through which to work with our students.
For those who wish to learn more about the stories of the individual students we are working with, please sign up for our newsletter. If you have donated, you are already signed up and will begin receiving updates in March.
The dates for the Warrior-Scholar Project pilot program, hosted at Yale, are tentatively set for June 3 – June 10. The curriculum is still being finalized, so check back here for more updates!
