The wait is over – our 2024-25 Impact Report is here!

This year’s report is filled with moments of pride, triumph, exploration, possibility, and growth. From stepping onto campus for the first time to launching careers and giving back, you’ll hear from students and alumni like Michelle, Ramon, Batt, Eli, and Yatzari, and see how your support has helped them turn their dreams into reality. Every page is a reminder of what’s possible when students have the support they need to thrive!

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating these milestones: https://www.accessopportunity.org/impact-report

This moment matters.

Students are facing more barriers than ever, and sometimes, it’s the smallest moments that make the biggest difference: staying up late to finish a scholarship essay, stepping onto a college campus for the first time, or hearing someone say, “You belong here.”

Our annual report shares how this community shows up to make these moments happen. We can’t wait to share it with you next month. 💛

We're reaching out today with heavy hearts to share that one of our students, Melissa, and her family were recently in a severe car accident while traveling in Mexico. All four family members sustained serious injuries, but thankfully, they are on the road to recovery.

Melissa has given us permission to share their story and GoFundMe page. If you're able, please consider donating or sharing to support her family in their recovery:

She would also welcome supportive messages from her AO community. She may not be able to respond right now, but your words of support would mean a lot.

We're sending love and keeping your family in our thoughts, Melissa 💛
