Active Programs

  > Oklahoma Serves

AmeriCorps members will serve in state or local nonprofit organizations, public agencies, colleges and universities, schools and other community-based organizations dedicated to providing services to children and youth.

While direct service to children and youth may be a component of a member’s service, they will serve primarily as capacity-builders. Their service activities will expand, strengthen and improve a community’s ability to deliver resources in sustainable ways.

The Oklahoma Serves program will continue to assist Oklahoma communities in providing access to the Five Promises. Members will be placed at host sites throughout the state and will implement new programs, expand existing programs, or increase the quality of existing programs in order to provide access to fundamental resources.
