Our offices will be closed Thursday, July 4th. Everyone have a happy and safe Independence Day!
HUGE THANK YOU to all our volunteers today! Volunteers included associates from Bank OZK, Ozark Opportunities, Inc. staff (many of which were off today), and a great group of teenagers that came in this summer to help us out! Again, THANK YOU!
Teenagers participated in our pilot REALL (Reality Enrichment And Life Lessons) project. Participants lived a month in a reactive simulation where they did not graduate high school and may have made additional poor choices that could have included legal issues. They have to go to work or get a job, pay bills, attend parenting classes, etc. It is VERY STRESSFUL. Then participants live a month in a proactive life where they have all completed high school and made better decisions; then proceed to pay rent, utilities, etc. At the end teenagers sit down and share their thoughts. OVERWHELMINGLY many of the students decided having children was TOO EXPENSIVE and TOO MUCH WORK!
