Let’s Work Together - B.O.O.K. Clubs

START A LOCAL “B.O.O.K.” CLUB IN YOUR COMMUNITY OR COUNTY

B.O.O.K. — Better Outcomes for Oklahoma’s Kids — is Advance Oklahoma’s Kids’ legislative policy initiative focused on strengthening public education by empowering local voices. A B.O.O.K. Club is a community-based chapter made up of people who care deeply about their local public schools and the students and educators who make them thrive B.O.O.K. Clubs are designed to be flexible and community-driven. There is no one “right” way to organize — what matters is showing up for kids and advocating for strong, well-supported public schools. Clubs can take one of two forms:

1. Existing Groups Becoming a Chapter - Already gathering as a PTA, civic group, faith-based group, teacher group, parent network, or community organization? Your group can officially sign on as a B.O.O.K. Chapter and integrate advocacy tools, policy resources, and action opportunities into your regular meetings — without changing who you already are.

2. Starting a New B.O.O.K. Club - If you and a few like-minded neighbors, parents, educators, or community members are ready to organize around public education, you can launch a brand-new B.O.O.K. Club in your area. Whether it starts with two people at a kitchen table or a room full of community leaders, every club helps strengthen Oklahoma’s public schools.

B.O.O.K. Clubs are intentionally locally shaped - you decide:

• How often you meet

• Where you meet

• What issues matter most in your community

• What actions make sense for your local culture and capacity

How We Support You - Advance Oklahoma’s Kids provides resources, guidance, and ongoing support to every B.O.O.K. Club, including:

• Advocacy toolkits and policy resources

• Legislative updates and action alerts

• Training and organizing support

• Messaging and engagement guidance

• Connection to a statewide network of education advocates
