Centering & Empowering Community Voices
Hard working Oklahomans are at the heart of our communities, and see first hand how our public schools aren’t meeting the needs of their families. Advance Oklahoma’s Kids mobilizes parents, families, and community members to use their voices and be champions for what our students need.
Our diverse range of community partners from every corner of the state are the backbone of Advance Oklahoma's Kids. We work together to tackle the real issues that Oklahoma's parents, students, and teachers face every day.

What Sets Our Advocacy Apart
01 / Kids First
Advance Oklahoma’s Kids (AOK) anchors every position in one non negotiable question: What produces better outcomes for kids? We focus on evidence, root causes, and long term outcomes for students, especially those historically underserved. This keeps conversations grounded and productive, even on issues that are politically charged.
02 / Community Based
AOK is powered by parents, educators, faith leaders, rural advocates, and community members, not just policy professionals. Our advocacy is shaped by local voices and real classrooms, not abstract theory. Our grassroots structure builds trust and credibility with policymakers who know all of Oklahoma’s communities are genuinely represented.
03 / Future Focused
Rather than chasing quick wins or symbolic fights, AOK works toward long term, bipartisan reforms that can withstand changes in political leadership. Our coalition invests time in listening tours, relationship building, and shared values, ensuring solutions are implementable and lasting, not just aspirational.
