BRIDGING THE GAP FOR OKLAHOMA
The career training and development center aims to accommodate a variety of skill sets, particularly for individuals with cognitive variances across different sectors. The professional workplace has been unavailable to those with intellectual disabilities…until NOW. Adults with IDD and neurodiversity need innovative instruction to learn, develop, and thrive!
The Center of Family Love is breaking the glass ceiling for our population to succeed in career-fields previously unfathomable. We have built a nexus of academic, medical, and industry experts who are helping us design programs that will produce trained professionals like sous chefs and veterinary assistants.
The new facility will nurture strengths for diverse real-world settings and will be critical to advance our mission to create an inclusive environment where individuals become valuable contributors to the workforce and local communities. The status quo is unacceptable, we must provide the resources to develop the talents of this population.
Centers of Excellence & Classrooms- 14 Centers of Excellence with classrooms averaging 500 square feet each.
Green House & Regenerative Agriculture- The new building is set on 80 acres of donated land, enabling regenerative agriculture, animal husbandry, and greenhouse spaces for training in Oklahoma-specific needs. The first structure on the property, a 47,000 square foot state-of-the-art greenhouse, is scheduled for completion in December of 2024.
Culinary & Fine Arts- A 1500 square foot large kitchen, 900 square foot culinary arts teaching kitchen and 3000 square feet of arts and ceramics space.
Administrative Spaces- The second-floor administrative wing holds 1500 square feet of office space and 3000 square feet of meeting and collaboration spaces.
Reception & Conference/Event Center Areas- Space usages includes a 3,000 square foot multipurpose room, 4,000 square foot main street and atrium.
Your support changes the world for those who live their lifetime at the Center of Family Love and redefines the possibilities for the many generations we will serve in the future.
Dreams are possible because of YOU.
