Community Component (Prevention)

The primary focus of this component is to reduce incarceration by diverting youth and young adults from gangs and criminal activity. Our program focus is public schools, juvenile detention centers, jails and families. The aim is to catch and divert youth in the early stages of life, before they become involved with drugs, gangs, and other unacceptable criminal behaviors. These lifestyle choices often lead to addiction, incarceration, or death.

Prison & Jail Component (Incarcerated)

This component operates inside Oklahoma’s penal institutions and county jails. The goal is to rehabilitate and prepare inmates for successful re-entry. We utilize our TASK copyrighted Department of Corrections Approved Behavior Transformation & Violence Control curriculum to train and prepare individuals to live a positive law-abiding lifestyle in society and while incarcerated. Our curriculum offers behavior transformation, violence control techniques, cognitive thinking, life skills, anger management techniques, healthy confliction resolution, and communication training.

Re-Entry & Aftercare Component

The primary focus is to provide re-entry support for individuals returning to society from prisons/jail. We offer resources such as: Certified out-patient mental health/substance treatment, addiction recovery program, transitional housing, transportation, behavior transformation training, recovery support group meetings, job placement assistance, professional counseling, drug and alcohol testing, and other community referrals resources. The aim of this

At-Risk Youth Mentoring

TASK 501 (c) (3) program offers mentoring, literacy programs, job training & job placement, violence control and behavior training, speak outs, gang prevention and intervention. Many detained juveniles struggle with substance abuse, mental disorders, gang affiliation, behavioral issues, poor grades, illiteracy, and criminal activity. Our goal is to have TASK teams working within schools, detention centers, halfway houses & local jails (counselors, PRSS & mentors). Our aim is to save lives and reduce recidivism by diverting youth from gangs, criminal activity & incarceration. TASK is a referral source for at-risk youth and young adults.
