United We Can: Helping youth create a different future possible self!
United We Can is an evidence-based program that works with low-income, minority students and their families to reduce risky behaviors and increase enrollment in higher education. One key aspect of the United We Can program is helping youth to create a “future possible self”. Youth are exposed to different career opportunities through trips to OSU Stillwater, where they attend workshops covering diverse academic areas led by faculty and graduate students, eat with students in the university cafeteria, and tour the campus. For most of our students, this summer experience will be the first time they have ever stepped foot on a university campus. Our research suggests that as students do things like put on a white lab coat and interact with college students from similar ethnic backgrounds, they begin to see themselves in the future attending an institution of higher education. This shift in their mindset is the first step toward a brighter future for many of the youth we serve. Other aspects of the United We Can program are working with students throughout the year to develop the skills and relationships that will help them realize their newly formed future possible self.
United We Can is a free program to students and is run by faculty and staff from Oklahoma State University’s College of Education and Human Science, and Cooperative Extension Service. Funds raised through the PhilanthroPete program will be used to support student participation in field trips to local community partners and to OSU's Tulsa and Stillwater campuses where they learn about career opportunities in “behind the scenes” operations of institutions such as the Tulsa Health Department, Philbrook Museum of Art, and Tulsa Technology Center among others.
Your support is crucial to help us expand the United We Can program and allow more youth in the Tulsa area to experience the satisfaction and thrill of being positive contributors to their communities. The per/student cost to attend our summer program is approximately $250. Will you please help change a life and a future by supporting a student? Any amount, $5, $50, or $5,000 will be appreciated. Our goal is to raise $10,000 AND to have the greatest number of total contributors on our donor wall of any of the different organizations involved in the PhilanthroPete effort. Will you please help us reach our goal by giving any amount?

Unidos Se Puede: ¡Ayudando a los jóvenes a crear un futuro posible y diferente!
Unidos se Puede es programa basado en evidencia que trabaja con estudiantes de minorías y de bajos ingresos y con sus familias para reducir conductas de riesgo y aumentar la inscripción en la educación superior. Un aspecto clave del programa Unidos Se Puede es ayudar a los jóvenes a crear un “futuro posible”. Los jóvenes están expuestos a diferentes oportunidades profesionales a través de viajes a OSU Stillwater, donde asisten a talleres que cubren diversas áreas académicas dirigidos por profesores y estudiantes de posgrado, comen con los estudiantes en la cafetería de la universidad y recorren el campus. Para la mayoría de nuestros estudiantes, esta experiencia de verano será la primera vez que pongan un pie en un campus universitario. Nuestra investigación sugiere que a medida que los estudiantes hacen cosas como ponerse una bata blanca de laboratorio e interactuar con estudiantes universitarios de orígenes étnicos similares, comienzan a verse a sí mismos en el futuro asistiendo a una institución de educación superior. Este cambio de mentalidad es el primer paso hacia un futuro mejor para muchos de los jóvenes a los que servimos. Otros aspectos del programa Unidos Se Puede son trabajar con los estudiantes durante todo el año para desarrollar las habilidades y relaciones que los ayudarán a realizar su posible futuro.
Unidos Se Puede es un programa gratuito para estudiantes y está dirigido por profesores y personal de la Facultad de Educación y Ciencias Humanas de la Universidad Estatal de Oklahoma y el Servicio de Extensión Cooperativa. Los fondos recaudados a través del programa PhilanthroPete se utilizarán para apoyar la participación delos estudiantes en excursiones con socios comunitarios locales y a los campus de OSU Tulsa y Stillwater, donde aprenden sobre oportunidades profesionales en espacios "reales" de instituciones como el Departamento de Salud de Tulsa, el Museo de Arte Philbrook y los Colegios Comunitarios, entre otros.
Su apoyo es crucial para ayudarnos a expandir el programa Unidos Se Puede y permitir que más jóvenes en el área de Tulsa experimenten la satisfacción y la emoción de ser contribuyentes positivos a sus comunidades. El costo por estudiante para asistir a nuestro programa de verano es de aproximadamente $250. ¿Podrías ayudar a cambiar una vida y un futuro apoyando a un estudiante? Se agradecerá cualquier cantidad, $5, $50 o $5,000. Nuestro objetivo es recaudar $10,000 Y tener la mayor cantidad de contribuyentes totales en nuestro muro de donantes de cualquiera de las diferentes organizaciones involucradas en el esfuerzo de PhilanthroPete.
