Oklahomans care deeply about their children!
The evidence is everywhere: parents coaching sports teams, business leaders mentoring young students, volunteers flipping pancakes to raise money for local youth programs, congregations providing afterschool activities.
At the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy (OICA), we believe that all children are valuable and deserve opportunities to reach their potential; we believe that children are vulnerable and have the right to grow up healthy, safe and loved. We know that children rely on caring adults to provide a voice that focuses attention on unique needs. Each year, OICA works with thousands of people across the state to provide that collective voice.
We believe that by working together, Oklahomans can create a brighter future for our state’s children and youth. We invite you to add your voice to ours!
For the children!
My husband and I fostered and, eventually, adopted through DHS and the process has made us want to advocate for change in the system. I’d like to know what I can do to help ensure children like Aja Johnson and my daughter are kept safe when in state custody and given the right to a safe family (birth or otherwise). Thank you.
How can I volunteer or get involved with your group?
