History

The O.K. Program was established in 1990 at Mills Middle School in Rancho Cordova,

California.The program was designed to reverse the grim statistics that young African

American males were facing…namely, the high rates of incarceration and homicide.

Since 1990, the O.K. Program has won many awards including several national awards.

In 1992, President George Bush recognized the O.K. Program as the 945th Daily Point of Light for the Nation.

In 1994, it won the Jefferson Award in recognition of outstanding public

service, and in 1995 it won the National Association of Attorneys General

“For the Children Award”.

In the spring of 2005, the O.K. Program became a national organization.

    Thank you Don for being obedient to the Lord and working the vision He has provided to you. This program has been a blessing to so many of our young men in Indianapolis, IN…and all over the United States. But there is still much work to be done! I am sitting here in a funeral of a 23yo black male who was shot and killed by the police, after shooting a police officer. He leaves behind a family and also an infant son. Will the cycle ever end? This is just one more reason why we have to stop this madness!!!

  7. Truly magnificent and most certainly a wonderful piece.

    Hi
    Hope all is going well with the program. A friend’s son is based in North Carolina (15 years old) and I believe they could do with some support. Is there a programme in that area they could link into?
    Regards
