What We Do

Opportunities Unlimited re-engages students who are off-track in their education, enabling youth ages 17 -20 to work toward high school completion as well as college credit.

OU students are able to work towards their diploma (if the student has 30 credits or less to earn) or GED while concurrently enrolled in Front Range Community College courses.
