It's time for our annual United Way of Central Oklahoma Internal Campaign - Pivot Olympics! 🥳 Every year, partner agencies like Pivot participate in internal campaigns to raise funds for the United Way to continue pouring into the community. This year, we're centering ours around heroes of the moment, Olympians. 🏆 Follow along throughout the week on our Facebook or Instagram stories to see how we're going to celebrate and raise donations. #PivotOkla
Pivot - A Turning Point for Youth

A nonprofit working with young people lacking stability in their lives including trauma or facing homelessness.
About us
Established in 1972, Pivot, A Turning Point for Youth, works with young people lacking stability in their lives. These young people are often homeless or couch homeless, alone or disengaged. Our 12 to 24 year olds have overwhelming barriers in their lives without the resources to overcome them and successfully transition into self-reliant adults. Pivot is committed to long-term impact in the lives of the youth we serve. We provide programs and services that focus on meeting housing and basic needs; education and job assistance; mentoring and life skills development; prevention and intervention services; and therapeutic care including mental health and substance abuse care. We believe that regardless of the circumstances from which young people come or the obstacles they face, they deserve access to educational and vocational opportunities, a stable and safe place to live, healthy permanent connections and overall well-being. *Formerly Youth Services for Oklahoma County.

This is Salma Khan. She's an entrepreneur from Pakistan who runs Dua girls hostel Quetta - providing safety and security for girls who are looking for employment and educational opportunities. She was chosen out of thousands of women for The University of Oklahoma's Empowered Women Can Do US Exchange Program to spend a month in the United States to learn. And we were so fortunate to have her with us for a few weeks where we got to learn from her inspiring story too. 🩵 #PivotOkla
