Welcome to Opportunity Knocks for Youth, Inc!

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.

For specific information about how you can partner with us as a volunteer or contributor, we invite you to contact us.

Did you know that less than 20% of children in foster care graduate from high school?
* In Cobb County, more than 500 children are in foster care
 * More than 150 of these are teenagers

In contrast, 65% of teens in Opportunity Knocks for Youth programs not only graduate, but 60% of those pursue higher education.

With your support, we can change the lives of more at-risk youth.
