About Us

The Oklahoma Marriage Initiative (OMI) has existed for approximately five years and, in that time, become a national program model as state and national leaders have watched the broad-based, innovative design and statewide service delivery strategies become implemented and refined over the past several years. While OMI leaders consider the social service prevention project still to be in early stages of development, other states and national policy leaders are learning from the Oklahoma experience in order to implement best practices in additional areas of the country. The Initiative was developed and gained momentum under former Republican Governor Frank Keating and continues to grow and prosper, with new plans and visions on the horizon for the coming years.

Here, you can access a brief history of the project and some specific lessons learned throughout the evolution of the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative. You can also learn about the staff that keeps the Initiative going every day, and view testimonials from partners and workshop participants who have been impacted by the program.
