Community Listening Session
2023
Click here to join us at our Community Listening Session!
Met Cares Foundation is committed to strengthening North Tulsa by empowering its schools, developing its neighborhoods, and helping its residents to drive the change they demand and deserve. On September 21st and 23rd, we will be hosting two Community Listening Sessions to gather North Tulsans in community with one another to share their stories and experiences. We aim for this space to be an opportunity for longtime residents, businesses, and families to come together and participate in thoughtful discussion around the history and the changes they’ve seen in the community.
We'd love to extend an invite to you and your team, family, etc to join us while we engage within our North Tulsa community. These conversations will be used to re-update MCF’s policy recommendations in order to push for change in our neighborhoods.
Community & Family Empowerment
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.

Building Generational Wealth
At the Met Cares Foundation, we are rooted in the spirit of Greenwood - the epicenter of Black wealth in America.
We seek to undo decades of systemically racist policies and practices that sought to strip generational wealth from Black Tulsans. Click the links below to learn more about the work Met Cares is doing to close the wealth gaps through access to employment and home ownership.
Building Wakanda 2019
Our 2019 Summit
In May of 2019, 300 community members came together to take part in our second Building Wakanda summit. Together, we agreed on a list of 20 policy recommendations and called on our city's decision makers to lead the charge in implementing these necessary, community-lead reforms.
