Education
Through our programs we have started bridging the educational gaps that the North Tulsa community is facing.
LIFE - Literacy Is For Everyone
This program focuses on elevating the reading levels and learning abilities of the boys and girls in our local community. Through our iReady program, our children are given a unique, one-on-one teaching environment, ensuring that the every student receives the exact assistance that he or she needs.
DID YOU KNOW?
A student not reading at his or her grade level by the end of the third grade is four times less likely to graduate high school on time–six times less likely for students from low-income families.
80% of prison inmates in the United States cannot read beyond the a third grade reading level. The private prisons in our nation watch the test scores of the third grade reading tests to determine how many beds they will need in the upcoming years.
IN 2016, 100% OF OUR THIRD GRADERS PASSED THE READING PROFICIENCY TEST.
SINCE OUR PROGRAM BEGAN IN 2006, WE HAVE BROUGHT LITERACY TO OVER 1,000 NORTH TULSA STUDENTS.
GED Program
This program was created to serve the multitude of adults in the community that dropped out of school at an early age. We have certified teachers who work with these individuals in a classroom setting and prepare them for the GED test.
WE BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A SECOND CHANCE.
We provide free tutoring and teaching twice a week and the funds for them to pay to take the GED test.
