Core Values

Variety is the spice of life

At Opal, we believe that diversity is strength.

We value differences and believe that everyone deserves a mentor or mentee that they can really connect with on an individual level. Life would be bland without diversity of people, perspectives, and ideas!

Shoot for the moon, land among the stars

Sometimes, our goals may seem unattainable, but by aiming high, we’ll be able to surpass them.

Together, let’s give hope and motivate the next generation to pursue their dreams, even in the face of difficulties or challenges. Be a beacon of light during dark times.

Power to the people

Empower each other!

Support younger generations from the ground up, and take care to make it so that no one feels alone. Prevent others from encountering unnecessary obstacles so that we can all progress toward a brighter future.

Peas in a pod

We are a community bonded by human interactions!

As part of a community, we should pay it forward and give back to others. We believe in creating a collaborative environment to help empowered people empower others, forming a safe, supportive community. Let’s make a difference and change each others’ lives.

For goodness’ sake

Sometimes, life throws curveballs that make us all throw our hands up into the air in frustration.

We at Opal want to emphasize that despite those moments, we should always work for the sake of good. Be a role model in your daily life, and be sincere and honest in your work. Have integrity, and care to believe in the potential of students and the power of mentorship.
