The Oklahoma Partnership for Expanded Learning (OPEL) is a collaborative effort among agencies and organizations in Oklahoma City that aims to enhance learning opportunities for students. OPEL helps build and expand school-based programs, providing technical assistance to both new and established programs. As the C.

S. Mott Foundation Statewide Afterschool Network for Oklahoma, OPEL envisions a state where all families have access to nurturing, engaging, empowering, and purposeful expanded learning opportunities of excellence. These programs offer youth the chance to participate in activities and experiences beyond the traditional classroom curriculum, allowing them to learn, grow, and prepare for the future.

OPEL strives to raise awareness and promote the importance of expanded learning programs, working closely with partners such as the Oklahoma Public School Resource Center (OPSRC), Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and many others. OPEL is also affiliated with the National Network of Statewide Afterschool Networks and the National AfterSchool Association, both committed to developing and sustaining quality afterschool programs.
