Our Community

Few places in our country provide us the opportunity to deeply connect with our history through the eyes of our indigenous nations and collaborate with broad coalitions shaping the future of 21st-century life, discourse, and community. Oklahoma City and its inspiring renaissance story provides that unique and celebrated history, filled with stories of our resilience, perseverance, challenges, and triumphs.

The educational ecosystem in our state is poised to make phenomenal progress for children in poverty over the next several years. Teach For America Oklahoma City is proud to be a part of driving that change. Transforming education requires a broad coalition of people united around our shared values and common purpose. Our expanding alumni network reaches across central Oklahoma and holds the promise of a powerful and lasting local movement, beyond two years in the classroom.
