The Comeback Kid Society

This week, our amazing volunteer Devonte shared his experience working with youth at the Norman Juvenile Center—a place where mentorship and second chances can change lives. His dedication to showing up, listening, and guiding these young people is exactly what The Comeback Kid Society is all about. Volunteers like Devonte make a real impact, and we’re always looking for more people to join us! If you’re interested in volunteering, send us a message—we’d love to have you!

We believe in second chances, and the numbers prove it! Since 2018, The Comeback Kid Society has: ? Served 6,000+ homeless ? Provided 203,652 meals ? Facilitated 25,302 program attendances ? Mentored 5,000 students These numbers represent real lives changed. The foster youth and at-risk teens we work with are now breaking cycles, finding jobs, and building brighter futures—but we’re just getting started. Next up? Launching transitional living homes for youth aging out of foster care and expanding our paid internship program to provide real-world job experience. Want to help? Join us in making an even bigger impact!?

In less than a week, we’ll be back with our unhoused friends for Saturday Sandies! This is a special event we host every third Saturday of the month, where we provide sack lunches, a hot meal, clothing, and sometimes even live music to those in need. It’s always a beautiful time of connection, kindness, and community, and we’d love for you to be part of it! If you’re interested in joining us this Saturday, March 15th, send us a message—we’d love to have you!

Kids with trauma are 2.5x more likely to face mental health struggles—but with support, they can heal and thrive. Trauma doesn’t have to define our students—it can be a chapter, not the whole story. At The Comeback Kid Society, we provide mentorship, life skills, and emotional support to help our youth heal, grow, and regain confidence. Every child deserves a chance to thrive, and we’re here to make sure they do.

This week, our students brought their artistic vision to life during our Floral Arrangement Class as part of our Innovate, Create & Activate Workshop Series! From selecting the perfect flowers to designing stunning arrangements, our youth tapped into their creative side while learning a skill they can use for a lifetime. A huge thank you to the Oklahoma Community Foundation for making this possible and for their continued support! Stay tuned for more posts about the three other workshops happening this month—March is all about growth, learning, and empowerment!
