Who We Are
Project Transformation Oklahoma (PTOK) offers a summer literacy day camp for elementary children from under-resourced communities. Reading proficiency is a key predictor of a child’s future success. Yet, 78% of children living in under-resourced communities are behind grade level in reading. At PTOK, we strive to improve the literacy levels of Oklahoma children in a fun camp environment! We hire service-minded young adults to lead our day camps at host church sites across the state. In addition to serving children, we work hard at PTOK to provide each young adult opportunities to grow professionally and personally throughout the summer.
