Each program – in its own way – makes an impact and addresses important legal needs in communities across Oklahoma.

I’m the Executive Director of Workforce Tulsa, and we’re interested in chatting about a pilot to put an attorney in our Tulsa American Job Center who would hopefully remove barriers to employment. Can someone give me a call? 918.549.5159
Shelley,
You will need to speak to our Executive Director, Renee DeMoss. I have given her your message.
Thank you!
