Hi, we’re New Hope Oklahoma!

New Hope Oklahoma is a Tulsa-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We work to realize our purpose of supporting children of justice-involved caregivers through opportunities that provide safe spaces to grow, learn, and build community with peers and positive adult role models. New Hope achieves this through activating and organizing local resources to provide after-school programs, summer camps, community events, and more to meet the physical, social, and emotional needs of youth and families. At New Hope, we recognize that every child has incredible potential and are dedicated to helping them reach it.

Serving Oklahoma children and families for over 30 years

For over 30 years, New Hope has been providing services free of charge to Oklahoma youth impacted by parental incarceration. Our organization began in 1992 as a single summer camp. The critical need for our programs has grown year after year, as Oklahoma currently holds one of the highest incarceration rates not only in the nation, but in the world. Over time, our programs have greatly expanded to include:

After-School Programs

Our after-school programs focus on social and emotional wellbeing, ensuring each child has a community of positive peers and role models present in their lives.

Summer Camp

New Hope summer camps provide youth with opportunities to socialize and escape the stressors of day-to-day life. We offer a variety of camp activities for children 5-14 to help them form meaningful friendships and gain valuable life skills.

Case Management

New Hope provides a licensed social worker to help youth and their caregivers navigate the unique challenges commonly faced by justice-involved families.

Community Events

We host multiple community events and celebrations, including a Back to School Bash and a Holiday Party, to connect with caregivers, friends, and families.
