National Resource Center for Youth Services: Teen Conference

Ready to vibe with us at the coolest event of the year? The Intro to OKSA Conference 2025 is where it’s at! We're bringing together young people in care and their supportive adults from all over Oklahoma to set goals, build strong connections and vibe together! Join us for a one-day event where you’ll learn awesome life hacks and explore how OKSA services can help you crush your goals!

Who's In?

Youth: Age 14 who are currently in OKDHS or Tribal custody, and who are interested in learning important life skills and getting involved.

Adults: Child Welfare Specialist, tribal workers, foster parents, group home providers, or volunteers who work with eligible youth.

Maximum Ratio: No more than three youth for each adult sponsor. Adult sponsors are responsible for the supervision of their youth and must ensure youth are always in line-of-sight.

When's It Happening: Roll in at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 4^th, and vibe until we shut it down at 4:30 p.m.

What’s the Vibe?

Dress is casual. We are usually indoors; however, some activities will be outside. We suggest jeans, shorts, T-shirts, a jacket/sweater, and comfortable shoes.
