Community Literacy Centers

According to the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, there are approximately 137,000 Oklahoma City adults that can't read. Roughly 80% of these people possess some form of learning disability. CLC services approximately 1,000 adults each year -- of which almost 85 percent live below the poverty level.

Literacy is a cause that Back40 cares about. Working with CLC, Back40 built its site from soup to nuts -- helping a worthy organization get the word out about their important services.

Oklahoma Autism Alliance

The OFCA is a new leadership forum that provides a way for organizations operating in the state of Oklahoma to share information and help each other advance the cause of families affected by autism. The OFCA is a resource and leadership forum for group leaders in Oklahoma who have a passion for serving those communities and organizations

Families with autistic members need answers, and a place to trade information with other affected families. Back40 built OAU a forum website that provides those families with a safe place to trade ideas and feelings about their difficulties.

Equine Therapy Center

ETC uses the equine experience as a tool for emotional growth and learning for children. The program isn't limited to only the art of riding, but also utilizes the task of caring for horses and the bonds that form through this caring as a means to establish trust, respect and responsibility. The goal of the program is to motivate, diminish anxieties, develop trust, learn self-evaluation, increase self-esteem and develop or enhance socialization skills.

Children are important to Back40, and ETC makes a difference in the lives of hundreds of disabled kids each year. Giving the ETC the opportunity to broadcast their message and goals on the Internet was a privilege and joy for Back40.
