Applications are OPEN for Accelerate Cohort III!
Met Cares is committed to empowering North Tulsa residents to create change in their own neighborhood... so the Accelerate Fellowship was born! Over 8 weeks, fellows journey through the basics of community organizing, civic engagement, and advocacy. In September 2023, our second cohort crossed the finish line. We believe they have gleaned knowledge that will bring life and light to their neighborhood!

Our Met Cares engagement team is committed to building collective power to support community-driven efforts for change. In the words of Ella Baker, we believe that "strong people don't need strong leaders."
We center our work around lifting up the stories of our community and creating the space and opportunity for all of us to push for bold, lasting change - together.
