What is OCL?
Othello Community Learning
What is Othello Community Learning (OCL)?
-
Othello Community Learning (OCL) aims to provide classes that will help community members connect, cultivate, and collaborate.
-
Rural Development Initiatives (RDI) conducted surveys, focus groups, and meetings over two years to prioritize a community center project. Subsequently, a group of community members established Othello Community Learning.
-
Othello Community Learning (OCL) would not be made possible without the generous funding and support from Rural Development Initiatives (RDI), USDA Rural Development, USDA Rural Development Washington Deputy State Director Tim O'Connell, City of Othello Mayor Shawn Logan, Adams County Development Corporation Executive Director Kyle Niehenke, Reimagining Rural, Avista Foundation, Umpqua Bank, and Innovia Foundation. We are grateful for the support and funding to begin OCL.
We are also appreciative to Bethel Assembly of God for paying for our operative expenses.
-
OCL will begin in the fall of 2024, and, depending on further funding, we plan to offer classes year round.
-
Our aim is to provide free or affordable classes. A small fee might be charged, which will be determined and payable to the instructor of the class.
-
You can register for classes (above) as they become available. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated of classes as they are added.
Let us know which classes you'd like to see offered:
