☀️💦 What an incredible week at The Salvation Army North Mabee Youth Center!☀️💦

From exciting swimming adventures and climbing opportunities to meaningful lessons that inspire our youth, every day is filled with moments that build confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories.

As we prepare to celebrate Juneteenth, our youth participated in a special "Breaking the Chains" activity, symbolizing the enduring pursuit of freedom, equality, and justice for all. ⛓️‍💥

These experiences are about more than fun, they are opportunities to educate, empower, and encourage the next generation to become leaders who value unity, respect, and compassion.

We are proud to provide a safe place where children can learn, grow, explore, and celebrate the rich history that has shaped our nation. Jamar GiddingsTaylor Nani

🌟 Off to Camp Heart O' Hills! 🌟
This morning, excitement filled The Salvation Army North Mabee Youth Center as several of our youth departed for an unforgettable week at Camp Heart O' Hills!

Before they left, our Executive Director, Mr. Jake Law, gathered the youth for a powerful moment of encouragement, inspiration, and motivation. He reminded them that they are leaders, that they have unlimited potential, and that every new experience is an opportunity to learn, grow, and discover more about themselves. His words challenged our campers to embrace every moment, make new friends, step outside their comfort zones, and return home stronger and more confident than when they left.
At North Mabee, we believe experiences like summer camp do more than create memories they build character, confidence, resilience, and leadership skills that will last a lifetime. We are grateful that our youth have the opportunity to participate in an experience that will encourage personal growth, teamwork, and a deeper sense of purpose.

As they begin this exciting journey, we ask our community to join us in wishing them a safe, fun-filled, and transformative week at camp. We look forward to hearing about the friendships they build, the challenges they overcome, and the memories they create.

Here are a few pictures of our North Mabee youth as they prepared to embark on this exciting adventure!

🙌 Leadership in Action. Service with Purpose. Impact for a Lifetime. 🙌

At The Salvation Army North Mabee Center, we believe that meaningful relationships change lives and that starts with leaders who are willing to show up, engage, and invest in our young people.

This video captures one of those special moments as our Executive Director, Mr. Jake Law, spends time connecting with our youth during Summer Camp. Whether it's sharing a laugh, joining an activity, offering encouragement, or simply being present, Mr. Jake demonstrates what servant leadership looks like in action.

Our youth deserve adults who believe in them, support them, and help them see the limitless possibilities ahead. Through the dedication of leaders like Jake and our incredible staff team, North Mabee continues to create positive outcomes for youth throughout North Tulsa by providing safe spaces, mentorship, enrichment opportunities, and experiences that inspire growth and success.

Every conversation matters. Every relationship matters. Every young person matters.

Thank you, Mr. Jake, for your commitment to our mission and for helping create an environment where young people are known, valued, and empowered to thrive.

🍩❤️ What a Phenomenal Day at The Salvation Army North Mabee Center! ❤️🍩

Today, we had the privilege of celebrating National Donut Day, a tradition deeply rooted in the history and mission of The Salvation Army. We were thrilled to be among the beneficiaries of this special day and to share delicious donuts, fellowship, and community with our youth and families.

The excitement didn't stop there! Our young people were inspired by a special visit from former Mabee youth participant and professional basketball player Anthony Pritchard, who returned to pour back into the next generation. Seeing one of our own come back to encourage and invest in our youth was truly powerful.

We were also honored to welcome members of the Tulsa Oilers, who spent time connecting with our young people and helping make the day even more memorable.

Moments like these remind us of the incredible impact that positive role models, community partnerships, and caring adults can have on the lives of our youth.

Thank you to everyone who helped make today special. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve, inspire, and celebrate the amazing young people of North Tulsa.

Community Makes the Difference!❤️

Tonight at The Salvation Army North Mabee Center, we were blessed to gather with our North Tulsa teens for an amazing Teen Night filled with fellowship, laughter, meaningful conversations, and great food.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our North Mabee Advisory Council and our dedicated community leaders whose generosity made tonight possible. Because of your support, we were able to provide a meal from Raising Cane's and create a welcoming environment where our young people could connect, build relationships, and simply enjoy being together.

Every investment in our youth is an investment in the future of North Tulsa. We are grateful for leaders who continue to show up, give back, and believe in the potential of the next generation.
To our teens—thank you for bringing your energy, positivity, and enthusiasm. You are the reason we do this work, and we are honored to serve you.

Together, we are building stronger youth, stronger families, and a stronger community.

✂️STARTING THE SUMMER WITH CONFIDENCE! ✂️

At the North Mabee Red Shield Youth Center, we believe that every young person deserves to feel confident, valued, and ready to succeed—and what better way to kick off the summer than with a fresh haircut!

We are incredibly grateful for Coach Reggie Williams one of our outstanding summer team members and Athletic Director, whose commitment to our youth helped make this experience possible. His dedication to creating meaningful opportunities for our young men continues to make a lasting impact.

A special thank you to our amazing partners at Tulsa Technology Center – Peoria Campus for opening your doors and providing such a phenomenal experience for our summer camp participants. We extend our appreciation to Mr. Chuck, Mr. Rico, the talented instructors, and the students who generously shared their time, skills, and professionalism to ensure our young men left looking and feeling their absolute best.

The smiles, confidence, and excitement on the faces of our campers said it all! This was more than just a haircut—it was an opportunity for our youth to experience encouragement, mentorship, and community support.

Partnerships like these remind us of what is possible when organizations come together to invest in the next generation.
Thank you, Tulsa Technology Center, for helping our young men start the summer strong!
