Did you know that a child with a parent in prison is significantly more likely than their peers to be incarcerated themselves later on in life (one study found up to 5 times more likely)? Did you know Oklahoma incarcerates women at a higher rate than anywhere else in the world? New Hope Oklahoma works with youth 5-18 who have/have had an incarcerated parent, with the mission to end generational incarceration. We provide after school programs, holiday parties, case management, summer camps, and overnight retreats, among other services.
New Hope children come to our summer camps from all across Oklahoma; however, many families do not have access to reliable transportation. Help more young people attend our camp by volunteering to ride along to drop off children after camp. Must have valid driver’s license and be 18 years or older. You will not need to drive your personal vehicle. Drop-offs will be the afternoon/evening of Thursday, June 21st (time TBD).

Description
At New Hope, lives are renewed everyday. When a child's parent goes to prison, life as they know it ends. Through our life affirming programs, children are lifted from isolation and fear, into possibility and hope. This is achieved by a circle of adults who care, a safe place with others who understand, a chance to imagine a life of possibilities and new futures born though hope, everyday.
