I have volunteered often before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Their volunteer coordinator is first-rate! She hooked me up with many different ways to help. I have done work in and outside CAP schools, read to their classes, helped with summer programming like little bicycles without pedals, and brought tangible donations like children's books and clothing. I might even be able to play music!
Since becoming involved with CAP in 2011, I am continually impressed with the impact they are making on the Tulsa community. CAP utilizes a two-generation approach to help low-income families break the cycle of poverty, through early childhood education and parental programing. Volunteering with these children and their families is engaging, rewarding, and fulfilling. Data and reviews show that CAP programs are not only enriching, but effective.
I've been a CAP Tulsa board member since 2004. This is such an amazing organization with dedicated staff. I'm so proud to have been part of this team even in such a small way.
