The needs of our children go far beyond the basics provided by funding sources. Your contribution directly impacts children struggling with mental health issues, learning disorders, emotional and behavioral challenges. The vast majority of youth served come with backgrounds of trauma from many forms of abuse.  Make a gift today and make a positive impact on a child’s tomorrow.


Every contribution, regardless of gift level, is critically important to our work.  Every donation helps an at-risk and special needs youth reach their fullest potential.  By making a gift, you empower Oak Grove to help educate, heal, and restore relationships for at-risk youth and their families.
