Sustaining Another 50 Years

As we enter our 50th year in the community, CCFI continues to serve children and their families who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing child abuse, neglect or other adverse experiences. With your tax-deductible gift, we can continue our mission to transform lives by providing comprehensive services to HEAL children, EMPOWER youth and STRENGTHEN families.

About Us

Center for Children and Families, Inc. (CCFI) began in 1969 as a shelter for youth, from birth to 18 years old, who needed a safe and nurturing place to stay while waiting to be placed in foster care. Known then as Juvenile Services, Inc. (JSI), we met a vital need in the community while laying the foundation for our mission “to improve the lives of children.” 

Today, CCFI continues to serve children and their families who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing child abuse, neglect or other adverse experiences throughout Cleveland County. Every day we dedicate our lives to create better and brighter futures for children and families in our community. Our work is based on the essential truth that healthy, supportive relationships form the basis of every baby and child's development and success in life.

Join us in our mission as we work toward giving all children the relational building blocks they need to grow into happy, healthy adults. Together, we can work toward giving every child in our community the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential. 

What We Do

CCFI offers strength-based programs and services to aide and educate families coping with abuse, neglect, divorce, separation, teenage pregnancy, a lack of quality out-of-school care, and/or other adverse experiences.

While our continuum of care is broad, with services ranging in intensity, our focus has always been to ensure that all children have safe, secure, nurturing environments and caring adults in their lives.

Heal Children

We provide hope and healing to children, youth and families who have experienced all forms of abuse, neglect, and/or other traumatic experiences. Children’s play therapy, family therapy, therapeutic groups, and individual counseling help children and their biological, foster and/or adoptive parents achieve safe, stable and healthy family relationships. Counseling services are available to children and families throughout Cleveland County and surrounding communities.

Empower Youth

Our goal is to ensure that every child and youth living in Norman has access to safe, enriching out-of-school opportunities to support their social and emotional development, enhance and enrich their academic experiences, and help them realize their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. After-school services are available to children and youth ages 6 - 18 through Boys & Girls Club of Norman.

Strengthen Families

Every family has strengths and challenges that impact the lives of their children. CCFI supports healthy parent-child relationships and family functioning through parent education and support services, supervised visits and exchanges, home visitation for parents of babies and young children, and case management and referral services.  Services are available to families in Cleveland, Pottowatamie and Oklahoma Counties.

Our Promise to Protect Children 

CCFI provides a safe environment for children and youth to heal and grow. Our agency works to protect those we serve from abuse and maltreatment by carefully screening staff and volunteers, providing training on topics such as physical, emotional and sexual abuse awareness and prevention, and by continually monitoring adult-child relationships.

Our Promise for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion  

CCFI is an equal opportunity employer. At CCFI, we strive to be an equitable organization that recognizes and values diversity and intersectionality within our workforce. We hope to be a place where employees representing a diversity of lived experiences feel motivated and safe to do their best work in service of our community.

Beacon Awards

To help commemorate our 50th anniversary, we have started a new tradition to honor individuals who have shaped the direction of our agency. The CCFI Beacon Award recognizes those who’ve made a difference, in ways both large and small, and who truly carry out our mission to heal children, empower youth and strengthen families. 

In 2024, we established the inaugural Lighthouse Award to honor outstanding community partners who go above and beyond for our mission.

2024 Beacon Award & Lighthouse Award Recipients

This year, we were thrilled to honor longtime volunteer Jennifer Denison with our 2024 Beacon Award. Throughout the past 15 years, Jennifer has dedicated countless hours to our Holiday Wishes program, ensuring it runs smoothly. Through her steadfast commitment, she’s helped thousands of local children have a fulfilling and meaningful holiday season. To learn more about her work as a volunteer through our Holiday Wishes program, watch the video below. 

This year, we also added a new award - the Lighthouse Award - to help honor a community partner who has made outstanding contributions to our mission. Our inaugural Lighthouse Award winner is Sun Construction Services. If you’ve been to our agency you've seen the beautiful impact of their craftsmanship. Quick to go the extra mile, Sarah, Jeremy and the rest of the Sun Construction team have ensured that we have a welcoming and beautiful space to help children feel safe, nurtured and loved.

Lee Bond has been a steadfast volunteer for more than 5 years, serving as our “resident handyman.” Lee’s helpful nature and can-do attitude is welcomed by all, and he can truly do it all! Driven by his passion for service and a love for our mission, Lee has volunteered close to 1,200 hours over his tenure and keeps our ever-growing agency functioning and beautiful.

2021 Beacon Award Recipient

Fran Roberson was selected as the 2021 Beacon Award recipient. Fran served as CCFI’s first Clinical Director and dedicated nearly three decades to helping grow our mission. She helped lay the framework for our counseling program and was instrumental in shining a light on child abuse and trauma informed service in our community.

2019 Beacon Award Recipients

CCFI is pleased to announce the very first group of Beacon Award recipients: Lynn Wendelbo, Robert “Bob” Staples, Jenny Brannon and Anne & Alan Brinkley. These individuals were honored at the 2019 Hands & Hearts fundraising luncheon, where they were each presented a beautiful custom piece of glass work created by Art Fusion Studio. To learn more about each Beacon Award winner, please view their profiles below.

LYNN is a retired play therapist who joined CCFI as a volunteer in the late 1980s. After falling in love with the agency’s mission, Lynn became a full-time employee who was instrumental in bringing play therapy practices to the counseling program. After her retirement, Lynn offered her professional services as a volunteer for many years and still remains an advocate for children and families.

BOB was an active community member who’s supported CCFI for more than a decade. Whether rain or shine, Bob volunteered weekly to manage CCFI’s recycling needs, all with a smile on his face. He was passionate about lending a helping hand and truly had a servant’s heart.

JENNY dedicates 10+ hours each week serving as the Boys & Girls Club of Norman Kids Café manager. Every day, she preps meals for at least 80 Club members, all while offering a shoulder to lean on. The Kids Café would not be able to run as smoothly as it does without her help and her assistance is both greatly needed and appreciated.

ANNE & ALAN are long-time agency advocates who have provided support in a multitude of ways. They have played a vital role in bringing new and innovative treatments to CCFI, with the most recent one being Trauma Drama. Their generosity, vision and selfless dedication has helped catapult the nonprofit to where it is today, and is what ultimately continues pushing the agency into bigger and better things.

Champions for Children Campaign

In August of 2014, Center for Children and Families announced that it raised over $3.9 million during the Champions for Children Capital Campaign to complete the purchase and renovation of a facility specifically designed to improve and expand services for children and families.  

The renovated facility, located at 210 S. Cockrel, is the first agency-owned building since CCFI’s inception in 1969. This facility has allowed CCFI to double the time children and youth can participate in after-school and summer services; expand its therapeutic program for children who have experienced child abuse, neglect, or other traumatic experiences; and integrate prevention and education services for families under one roof. The new facility has also allowed for the expansion of community partnerships, which CCFI considers to be a critical strategy for addressing the complex needs of children and families.

Center for Children staff, Board of Directors, clients, and supporters are all immensely appreciative of the following foundations and donors who made this project possible.
