Mission Statement

Our Mission

The Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy creates awareness, takes action and changes policy on behalf of children and youth.

Our Beliefs

Our mission and statewide leadership role is based on the belief that all children should have...

• Quality health care
• Quality educational opportunities throughout their childhood
• Protection from all forms of abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence
• A nurturing family in a supportive community
• Economic security and freedom from poverty; and
• Equal opportunities and freedom from racial disparities
  

Our Motivation

We at the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy know that Oklahomans care deeply about their children.

We also know that children rely on caring adults to give voice to their needs.

Therefore, we equip caring adults, including parents and policy makers, with the information and opportunities they need to meet those needs, and to create lasting change for Oklahoma's children, youth and families.
