Opportunity Knocks for Youth—or OK4Youth—is a nonprofit organization addressing the fundamental life skill needs of Cobb County’s at-risk youth. By exerting positive influences today, we are helping build independent and responsible citizens.
Ok4Youth serves the following groups and organizations:
Haven Hearts – a female group foster home ages 13 to 18
Turning Point – a coed group foster home ages 16 to 18
Project Plus – a male group foster home ages 15 to 18
Franklin Road Weed & Seed – a coed group ages 13 to 19
Cobb County High Schools – coed freshmen through seniors
We are eager to share our initiatives for fostering positive growth and development. Please take a moment to learn how we interact with our youth.
