One in
every five children in Oklahoma grows up in poverty.
That may be hard for some of us to comprehend...but the
picture is clear. Too many Oklahoma children and youth......gif)
- Lack needed health care
- Aren't ready to start school
- Drop out of school before they graduate
- Are involved in behaviors that put their health
at risk
The Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy (OICA) is the
statewide 501(c)(3), non-profit corporation that works with
parents, policymakers, state agencies, community civic clubs,
schools, congregations and individual advocates to eliminate
these disparities.
This is important work! OICA promotes programs
and policies that directly improve the health, safety and
well-being of Oklahoma's children and youth in significant
ways. Please join me in contributing to this meaningful
effort to ensure the continuation of this work.
