After School Programs
Our afterschool and community-based programs focus on social and emotional wellbeing, literacy development and healthy lifestyles, ensuring each child has a community of positive role models consistently present in their lives.
Parent Connection
Parent Connection, our newest program, facilitates monthly visits with fathers in the Jess Dunn and Clara Waters Correctional Center. In coming years, we hope to expand to more facilities as well as providing visits with incarcerated fathers.
Summer Camps
New Hope summer camps provide youth with opportunities to socialize and escape the stressors of day to day life. We offer social and emotional learning, literacy, and outdoor activities to help youth gain lifelong friends and valuable life skills.
Community Events
A huge part of serving youth is serving families. We hold two community events to connect with caregivers and friends, our Back to School Bash and Holiday Party. We ensure youth head to school prepared and have gifts to share on their important days.
If you didn’t know, here’s a bit about us.
New Hope Oklahoma is a Tulsa-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to end generational incarceration, one child at a time. We work to realize our mission of breaking the cycle of generational incarceration through life-affirming programs that lift youth and families from isolation and fear into possibility and hope! We offer safe spaces to grow, learn, and build community with peers and positive adult role models! At New Hope, we know everyone has incredible potential, and believe having fun together is a great way to reach it to the fullest!
Programs
For 30 years, New Hope Oklahoma has been providing services free of charge to Oklahoma youth impacted by incarceration. Our organization began in 1992 as a single summer camp. The critical need for our programs has grown year after year in Oklahoma, which currently holds one of the highest incarceration rates in the nation for both men and women. Over the years, our programs have greatly expanded to include after-school programs, community-based programs, family celebrations, and summer camps!
