A Little About Us
What is Youth First?
Youth First is a non-profit organization dedicated to partnering the concepts of #booksandball.
#booksandball
Books both inspire and provide a means of imaginative exploration. Our mission at Youth First is to encourage literacy, reading, and education among athletes and youth sports organizations.
What We've Accomplished So Far...
As of February 2022, we have:
Donated over 1,100+ books directly to our youth.
...and we won't stop there!
We are continually looking to expand our growth efforts by working to provide reading stations within local businesses, book donation sights, and drop-off locations within the community.
Future Initiatives
Our future initiatives include tech, music, creative arts, active, counseling and family services, before and after school programs, and SO MUCH MORE.

Santa Fe Family Life Center
As a nonprofit organization, the mission of the SFFLC is to improve the health of Oklahomans by providing sports and fitness programs for all abilities.
The SFFLC does this in three ways: providing opportunities for individuals with disabilities and disadvantaged youth to participate in sports and fitness activities, fitness opportunities/memberships, and youth sports programming.
Youth First has both a donation bin and free community library at this location.
"Seeing a child light up at the gift of a book…their minds churning with curiosity, excitement dancing in their eyes; that is what inspires me every day to make Youth First a reality."
