A community empowered to ignite opportunities and eliminate disparities for all people across the lifespan.
Our Mission >
To confront challenges to health, social, education and economic opportunities, and strategically advance effective community-based solutions. We do this through research, planning, networking, and mobilizing resources.
1.Use knowledge of demographics, science and technology, economics, and culture to provide leadership for best shaping a historically different new era ahead that will offer a high quality of life for Oklahomans.
2.Apply that knowledge to implement an overall prevention strategy for enhancing human development focused on investing in people across the lifespan, enabling more individuals to care for themselves and their families, and to contribute to a positive civic health.
3.Place priority on investing early but also advancing opportunities for those challengedby poor conditions (e.g., homelessness, financial crisis) and personal choices (e.g., criminal behavior).
4.Advance this prevention approach through best practice research, shaping new thinking, directions and partnerships among large public institutions and systems to reach the growing large numbers of individuals needing effective, often sustained, supports to obtain desired level of self-sufficiency.
