Criminal Justice Reform
CONCEPT SUMMARY
ELS mission is to attract and cultivate the next generation of Tulsa-area philanthropists. We do this through a variety of programming, including volunteer opportunities, educational activities with United Way partner agencies, and mentoring opportunities in large and small groups as well as one-on-one.
As ELS continues to grow, we want to offer a more focused educational and leadership development program. Similar to other respected leadership programs, this initiative will have a limited number of class members per calendar year (approximately 12-15) and an established curriculum, leaning heavily on community experts on the topic as well as TAUW agency partners.
The purpose of this program is to more deeply expose young philanthropists to a key issue in our community, equipping themwith the necessary tools to be an effective philanthropic leader and, ultimately, to pave the way for them to deliver a long-term and meaningful impact in the Tulsa area.
PROGRAM OUTLINE
Criminal Justice Reform is the first issue we will explore. Oklahoma is number 1 for incarcerated women and number 2 in the nation overall. People on both sides of the legislative aisle and courtroom, from prosecuting to defense attorneys as well as judges, agree that our current system needs reform. It is a hot topic among many TAUW partner agencies, and is an issue that could benefit from harnessing the altruistic energy young professionals bring as well as increase our membership’s motivation to advocate, volunteer, and give.
