Level Up with OKSA!
Welcome to OKSA, where the mission is to empower Oklahoma teens in foster care to level up their future!
Your Mission:
This is your chance to power up your future! Gear up to complete epic challenges, team up with fellow players, and gain new XP (experience points) while having a blast. Along the way, you'll unlock career paths and overcome challenges with expert guidance, while learning life skills to help you level up in every area of your life.
Special Power-Ups:
- Side quests: tackle quests designed to challenge and inspire you.
- Co-op mode: collaborate with your peers to achieve common goals and build supportive connections.
- Boss battles: conquer real-world challenges and unlock new life skills with expert guidance.
- XP Boosts: earn experience points through workshops.
Things to Know
Eligible Players>
- Youth: Oklahoma youth aged 15-17 who are currently in OKDHS or Tribal custody.
- Adult Sponsor*: Child Welfare staff, tribal workers, youth workers, resource parents, or volunteers who work with eligible youth.
*An adult sponsor can bring up to three youth although limiting it to two youth often allows for the best experience. If you are a first-time sponsor, it is recommended to bring only one youth for the best experience. Per University of Oklahoma guidelines, youth must be in the line of sight of an adult sponsor the entire time they are on campus.
