Restorative Justice
Restore OKC
Our Mission
RestoreOKC is a community development organization focused on the restoration of health, environment, reconciliation, and equity with neighbors in Northeast Oklahoma City.
About Us
We are relationship based, community-driven development focused in Northeast OKC, a place of great beauty, history & also tremendous injustice.
Our Impact
We want to see communities thrive, mutually-beneficial relationships forged that challenge, sharpen & change one another, and unity be the thing which marks us.
Our Programs
RestoreOKC operates under the belief that all people have value, dignity, and something to offer. Our hope is that this translates into efforts based on honest exchange where each recipient’s contribution is valued and needed so that the ownership & ability to sustain and improve it remains with the community. Since we began, we have watched neighbors and volunteers, partners & community leaders work together to see our community schools resourced & supported, open a grocery store in a former food desert, see homes transformed into affordable rentals & rent-to-own opportunities, build businesses that employ more than 60 neighbors, and above all else experience the true joy of belonging to a resilient & beautiful community that shows up big & rejoices bigger! When all of these arms work together, we believe the result is pretty profound —
whole families breaking whole cycles & flourishing across their whole lives & for the good of our whole community.
Restore Homes
Housing & Home Repair
Practicing loving our neighbor through practical deeds of mercy. Every 2nd Saturday we come together to serve our Northeast Oklahoma City neighbors with home repairs & affordable housing as available!
Restore Schools
School & Student Support
By placing a system of support alongside our community’s elementary schools we make sure that our school staff & students experience the love and backing of a wide community that is committed to giving kids a strong foundation.
Restore Farms
Sustainable Food & Youth Job-Training
We believe in investing in local enterprises that meet local needs by employing people from the community. We also want to create a space where our students can lead the next generation in creating sustainable food & flourishing futures.
Restore Jobs
Adult Economic Development
When we create jobs, we give neighbors the freedom to choose how they want to develop their own community. Adult employment allows us to walk with whole families & build deep meaningful community.
