Opportunity Resource Service

Opportunity Resource Service (ORS) is a non-profit organization based in Cleburne, TX, dedicated to disrupting generational poverty in Texas by empowering vulnerable teens and adults, particularly first-generation college students, low-income individuals, and those involved with the criminal justice system. ORS aims to help these individuals attain higher education degrees, secure gainful employment, and achieve social mobility.

ORS offers a range of programs, including the Educational Opportunity Centers (EOC) that provide counseling and application assistance to underrepresented adults interested in pursuing higher education. They also offer Upward Bound programs, both Classic and Math Science, which provide fundamental support to first-generation, low-income, and academically at-risk students in their preparation for college entrance. Additionally, ORS partners with AmeriCorps VISTA to create or expand programs designed to empower individuals and communities in overcoming poverty. They also collaborate with Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas to offer training programs for adults looking to upskill and advance their careers.
