Meet OZ

SLĀ Foundation is a private operating foundation that connects predominantly low-income high-school students to mentorship, educational programming and resources that will help them pursue higher education, financial stability and success. 

Our premise is it’s hard to dream big when you’re not sure what’s out there. That’s why we’ve designed the SLĀ Speaker Series to bring a diverse set of young professionals from a broad range of fields to inspire and serve as role models to high-school students. This is a structured speaking engagement and a huge opportunity to change students’ lives for the better. And it’s super simple to get started.

OZ (short for Opportunity Zone) is a free software platform that connects teachers, speakers and students. Teachers can quickly and easily add time slots they’d like to host speakers. Speakers can then easily book the time they’d like to speak. Students can then view their classroom’s upcoming speakers and build their professional network by connecting with these young professionals on LinkedIn.

If you would like to host guest speakers, speak to a class, or become a more motivated student, create an account to get started today.
