The Oklahoma Independent Living (IL) Program focuses on our teen population and seeks:

• to promote the importance of early planning for one’s future;
• to develop each individual’s innate strengths;
• to promote the concept of permanent connections; 
• to ensure transition of young people ages 16-21 from state custody to self-sufficiency and successful adult living; 
• to support youth by encouraging a multi disciplinary approach through training of field staff, and other appropriate adults;
• to develop teen targeted resources and community partnerships.
