The Urban Mission believes that financial instability in the family should never keep a student from receiving the proper tools to participate in school and succeed in life. This program focuses on reading comprehension, arts, and creative play. The goal is to instill hope and confidence in the youth of Oklahoma. The children are given the tools they need to succeed in an ever-demanding world.
We pick up students from surrounding schools and provide a fun, safe environment until their parents are ready to pick them up. These children receive a snack, tutoring and typically an art lesson.
Volunteers from the community act as mentors and tutors and assist students in completing homework assignments and increasing their reading skills. Other activities include crafts, games, recreations, computer time and writing.

This program prioritizes continuing education during a time many students slide backwards. We have daily reading, art projects and weekly field trips. We provide warms meals, snacks and groceries for the families involved in the program.
