Arnall Community Fund Award

Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC) of Oklahoma County serves those who have fallen through educational cracks by providing training programs that focus on the whole person. The FLEX Program is targeted for young adults ages 16-17 years old who have been charged with nonviolent misdemeanor offenses in Oklahoma County. OIC FLEX provides career exploration, job readiness training and placement, educational programming, small group counseling, and life coaching classes. The objective is to help young adults course-correct behaviors which have led to justice involvement while providing them with comprehensive programming and support. This initiative aims to divert young individuals away from a cycle of violence and incarceration by providing alternative pathways towards personal growth, skill development, and community integration.

The Arnall Community Funds are administered through Oklahoma City Community Foundation (OCCF) and provide grants to nonprofit organizations throughout the state of Oklahoma that are working to improve outcomes for individuals, children and families involved with animal welfare and in the child welfare and criminal justice systems. The OCCF staff will manage the grant administration process and all grantmaking decisions will be made by OCCF Trustees. Learn more about the process.
