The Opportunity Project South Carolina seeks to provide a voice to the the voiceless and access to opportunity by opening doors in the areas of health, higher education, and civic engagement.
The Opportunity Project of South Carolina was formed because there is a clear need to build capacity in communities throughout South Carolina that address long-standing gaps across three quality-of-life areas: healthcare, education, and technology. In our view, these are the areas that sustain us, enlighten us, and connect us to the world. The Opportunity Project seeks to close those gaps through its own programming and capacity-building grants to organizations in South Carolina that are creating opportunities that seek to close these gaps between South Carolinians and the rest of the world.
