ABOUT US

Opportunity Consulting is a Washington, DC-based consulting firm that helps public agencies, school systems, municipalities, philanthropies, and mission-driven organizations address complex challenges and create lasting opportunities for people and communities. Our team brings experience as educators, public-sector leaders, researchers, evaluators, strategists, facilitators, and program operators.

 

Our Distinctive Perspective

We know how to strengthen systems because we have studied them, evaluated them, advised the agencies that oversee them, built the capacity of organizations delivering within them, and operated programs ourselves. This combination gives us a distinctive perspective. We understand the priorities of government agencies and school systems, the realities facing service providers and educators, the needs of employers and community partners, and the experiences of the people these systems are intended to serve.

​

From improving schools and educational opportunities to building education-to-career pathways and stronger workforce systems, we help partners move from fragmented initiatives and competing priorities to shared strategies, coordinated action, and measurable results.

VISION

We envision a future where all people have access to equitable and excellent opportunities to thrive and live the lives they desire. We look to a future where education and economic systems are equitable, responsive, and inclusive, and where zip codes, race, and social factors no longer predict life outcomes.

MISSION

Our mission is to strengthen education, workforce, and community systems so more people can access high-quality learning, career pathways, and economic opportunity. We bring together research, strategy, stakeholder engagement, program design, and implementation to help public agencies, school systems, philanthropies, and community organizations remove systemic barriers and turn shared priorities into measurable, lasting change.

Our Core Values

Context

We recognize the dangers of a single story. Context drives our work, ensuring our solutions are grounded in the realities of the communities served.
