With the mission to “help urban youth become successful adults,” Our Piece of the Pie has successfully structured its programs and services to lead at-risk or disadvantaged youth, ages 14-24, toward the goals of achieving a college degree or vocational credentials and/or obtaining rewarding post-education employment. Through innovative methods, OPP seeks to re-engage disconnected youth and help them find a realistic “pathway to success.”
