Our Mission
What drives everything we do.
Mission Statement
Crossturn, Inc. exists to advance the social welfare of Oklahoma communities by building civic capacity, fostering community-led organizing, and advocating for policies that improve the quality of life for all Oklahomans.
Core Values
Community First. Every decision we make is grounded in the needs and priorities of the communities we serve.
Civic Empowerment. We believe every Oklahoman deserves the tools and knowledge to participate fully in democratic life.
Accountability. We hold ourselves to the same standards we ask of our institutions — transparent, responsible, and responsive.
Persistence. Lasting change takes time. We are committed to the long work.
What We Do
Civic Education
We provide accessible, nonpartisan civic education resources that help Oklahomans understand their rights, their government, and how to engage effectively.
Community Organizing
We help communities identify shared priorities, build coalitions, and develop the organizational capacity to advocate for themselves.
Policy Advocacy
As a 501(c)(4) organization, we engage directly in policy advocacy — including lobbying and supporting issue campaigns — when doing so advances the social welfare of Oklahomans.
