“We help kids realize their purpose and potential by building and maintaining athletic fields across oklahoma's largest school district and growing sports participation rates on oklahoma city public schools' high school and middle school teams. After connecting the dots between the poor conditions of many athletic fields in the oklahoma city public schools (okcps) school district and the district's below-national-average rates for sports participation and graduation, fields & futures was created in 2012 with a singular aspiration: to put more okcps students on the path to graduation by constructing state-of- the-art athletic fields and creating a district-wide culture of sports participation. More kids on more teams is our purpose. With approximately 34,000 students, more than 8 out of 10 of which are economically disadvantaged, okcps is oklahoma's largest school district. By focusing our efforts on the students, coaches, teams, schools and communities served by okcps, we believe we can ignite lasting social change that impacts oklahoma city for years to come. Since our first project at jefferson middle school in 2012, we have completed 70 athletic fields at 22 different okcps campuses. In addition, we assume the financial and logistical responsibility of providing comprehensive, ongoing maintenance at every improved site so that none of our fields ever fall back into disrepair. Beginning in 2022, our focus has pivoted to growing participation in order to maximize the impact of those fields, courts, and tracks. We provide camps, clinics, unique athletic experiences and program support to increase student participation across the district. More kids on more teams is our goal and maximizes our impact the results can't be ignored. By building and maintaining improved facilities for okcps and growing sports participation, we are building better students, better leaders, and a better future for oklahoma city.”
