Together, We can End youth homelessness
working together to create change
The dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our donors has allowed us to expand Sisu into what it is today: a low-barrier, identity-affirming emergency overnight shelter and drop-in resource hub for unhoused and at-risk youth across our city. Your donations ensure that we can continue to provide accessible support and services to Oklahoma City’s unhoused youth.
Your contributions are greatly appreciated and always tax deductible - our 501(c)(3) tax ID number is 46-5678806.
