A Word from our Executive Director

“Data shows youth in Tulsa increasingly choose to make healthy decisions about their future. We are excited to work with partner organizations to continue this path with the expansion of sex education, contraceptive access, and community wide knowledge on youth sexual health. There is no state mandate or funding for sex education. We rely on the generosity of our funders and individual donors to continue our work. We hope you will join us on our mission to expand opportunity to youth in Oklahoma.”

Amber McConnell
