STEPS TO BECOME AFFILIATED WITH THE NATIONAL OK PROGRAM

The National OK Program establishes affiliates to implement a national plan, called a Life Support System, which provides critical support in the daily lives of Black boys. The National OK Program does not charge a fee to be affiliated with our organization.

STEP 1:  Identify a local Black pastor in your city to work with the National OK Program. The pastor will arrange an on-boarding presentation that must include that pastor, police chief and school district superintendent.

STEP 2:  After the presentation and everyone agrees to implement the plan, the National OK Program will help the pastor to begin the process of establishing an affiliation with the National OK Program.

STEP 3:  The National OK Program will help to interview and carefully select Black male police officers, who will be assigned by the police department, to coordinate the system.

STEP 4:  After the officers are interviewed and carefully selected, the police department will send the officers to the National OK Program Headquarters for a six-days coordinators training.

STEP 5:  The National OK Program will help our affiliate to launch an ongoing targeted recruiting campaign for Black men in your city to join us. We will train and organize a new group of men on a quarterly basis each year.  These men and the police officers that we carefully select and train will work together…as trained, to provide support in the daily lives of Black boys.
