Possibilities Innovation Program: Engaging and Transforming Communities from Within (formerly Camp Possibilities)

Possibilities invests in local people through its core Possibilities Innovation Program (PIP). PIP teaches tools that transform communities, inspires local leaders to tackle community problems with others and supports their efforts.   PIP addresses issues such as poverty, isolation, dependency, victimization, crime, and deteriorating communities. Possibilities Innovation Program is for anyone who wants to make a difference in their community.

PIP's trained and experienced participants, known as Community Innovators, connect people and create innovative solutions to community challenges. Working where people live, learn, play, work and worship, they achieve safer neighborhoods, stronger families, community schools and economic growth throughout greater Oklahoma City and beyond.  Because Community Innovators and their communities work towards their vision for transformation, efforts are created and sustained from within. 

200 Community Innovators and the communities they transform benefit from Possibilities Innovation Program; their work impacts around 50,000 people each year with innovative community changes.  The yearlong program increases confidence and builds skills for working with others, motivating participants to create the communities they desire.  Possibilities Innovation Program includes an intensive opening retreat, multiple training sessions and practice opportunities, community projects planned and carried out by participants and ongoing mentoring and support during and after the program.
