About Us - Opportunity Resource Services

Our Story

Opportunity Resource Services was founded in 2010 with the goal of alleviating poverty in rural communities by providing more opportunities for education, access, and exposure for first generation, low income youth. Our values are still at the heart of everything we do today, as ORS continues to expand our reach to serve more people who are underrepresented in programs of higher education.

Our Vision

A Texas without generational poverty.

Our Mission
