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.
