About us
In 2003, a small group of parents and educators of children and adults with special needs recognized the demand for more services and opportunities for these individuals in Garfield and surrounding counties of northwest Oklahoma. They created the 4RKids Foundation to provide opportunities.
In March 2009, the 4RKids Foundation opened The 2nd Story Employment Center, a place where adult employees with developmental disabilities find meaningful employment within an integrated community setting.
Now, we offer a variety of services and outreach for those with special needs, and their families. We also run multiple businesses, which help with funding - and provide jobs for adult workers with developmental disabilities.
