Important mask update
Based on the most recent state and federal health guidelines, OP is once again requiring masks be worn indoors at OP sites and indoor community locations regardless of vaccination status. If you have questions about OP health and safety protocols, please reach out to your OP contact person or email info@opportunities.org. Thank you for your support and cooperation!
Karlins heroes honored
Congratulations to Shari Mason and Jackie Chouinard for earning a Citizen’s Award from the Plymouth Police Department. In March 2020, Shari and Jackie performed the Heimlich maneuver, helping save a person served from choking on a sandwich at OP-Karlins Center. The person was fine following the incident when checked out by medical personnel. Thank you for your amazing work every day, Shari and Jackie!
Volunteer with us!
Some “gems” at an OP-Koch Campus enrichment class enjoyed a recent visit from a Northern Star Scouts volunteer. They discussed geology and checked out some samples of rocks! 

We are thrilled to begin our Volunteer Program again in 2021! Volunteers are essential to delivering our mission. There are many opportunities for you to join us, including helping with special events, providing administrative support or assisting in our classrooms. You can also bring a group from work or your congregation to do a project, making a big impact while you work as a team. We have many options, and we need you! If you’d like more information, please contact volunteer@opportunities.org.
