Gaining Ground
Gaining Ground Literacy wants to make Tulsa the most literate city in the world! We want to develop Tulsa’s youngest citizens into readers, thinkers, and leaders. We do this by providing families with engaging literacy experiences and access to high-interest, culturally responsive books.
Growing Together
Growing Together is known as a community quarterback. That means we guide and support community members, organizations and funders to create vibrant communities for children. To be a successful neighborhood, children must have the right conditions to live, learn and thrive. We work to change the fundamental conditions of a neighborhood to benefit kids, making it a more attractive, mixed income neighborhood for families and businesses.
But we don’t want to reinvent the wheel. Our job is to be the connection between businesses, non-profit organizations and other programs. Together, we can all improve our neighborhoods.
Tulsa Dream Center
The Tulsa Dream Center is a resource of support, encouragement, and empowerment for citizens in North Tulsa. In partnership with FC Tulsa, the Tulsa Dream League was formed at the Dream Center to provide an organized activity for the children in North Tulsa.
The Tulsa Dream League is Tulsa’s first fully-funded North Tulsa elementary soccer league for boys and girls and completed its first season in 2021.
