OCCC also facilitates monthly guest speakers to present on various topics including health, <br />wellness, careers, colleges, and much more. For example, Planned Parenthood is scheduled for <br />February to present to the entire youth body regarding health resources. In the past Human <br />Options has completed domestic violence presentations to the entire youth, which have created <br />intense reactions from our youth who have experience sexual assaults, domestic violence assault, <br />as well as challenged the culture of abuse within some low-income communities. These <br />workshops often feature healthy options including creating a safety plan, getting help and getting <br />out of an abusive relationship. These workshops are presented on a quarterly rotation, as the <br />organization is available to present. <br />The Corps to Career workshop series goes into significant depth about personal and professional <br />development.

Youth are also encouraged to participate in volunteer opportunities throughout various <br />OCCC partnerships to further their development, and achieve leadership skills as part of the <br />Corps to Career model. OCCC also host guest speakers who have significant barriers and <br />disabilities, to provide a common ground of resilience and hope.
