EmpowerOKC (Lilyfield ONE)

EmpowerOKC

In our experience of engaging biological, foster, and adoptive families, we have come to understand that some children who enter foster care could remain safely in their homes, given the right tools and support, which is why we launched our EmpowerOKC program in 2018.

While we continue to offer adoption, foster care, counseling and independent living program, our expanded focus allows us to interact with families before the need arises for the involvement of child welfare. EmpowerOKC has partnered with Westwood Elementary School, an Oklahoma City Public School, to identify at-risk students and provide support to students and their families to help prevent them from entering the child welfare system.

This program includes parenting classes, education support for children, mentor families, counseling, case management, resource referral, tutoring and much more. In doing so, we hope to continue to fulfill our vision of guiding children, youth and families on a path to healing and permanency.
