Joe Dorman, OICA CEO

In Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy is a nonprofit focused on children's health, safety, and well-being. Joe Dorman writes about state policies and programs affecting children and families, including childcare and access to health coverage. OICA shares information on its advocacy work through articles, events, and educational programs. Its Kid Governor program invites fifth-grade teachers to register classrooms and offers comic books for purchase, with a copy also provided to an Oklahoma fifth grader for each book purchased. The organization also holds an annual Fall Forum, where participants help set the children's legislative agenda. OICA provides ways to become a member and support its work through donations.
