The Believe Group is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, action-based organization founded in 1999 to empower young people and families across Oklahoma. Our method of empowering is by providing educational services that improve the lives of less-advantaged communities and to close the academic achievement gap. The Believe Group accomplishes its mission by educating, organizing and mobilizing parents and volunteers, and working with community partners to facilitate a wide variety of solid programs, high-visibility campaigns and other special initiatives.
From its beginning, The Believe Group has worked to improve the lives of people in low-income communities, particularly in Oklahoma County. Often, these communities are plagued with violence, unemployment, and low-academic achievement. The Believe Group work is motivated by its vision that all children, with the support of their families, neighborhoods and communities, will become 21st-century global citizens who are globally competent, globally cooperative and globally compassionate.
