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."
