Aspen CSG partners with Rural Development Hubs across the country to strengthen local leadership, align funding, and build regional capacity. Through research and peer learning, we support Hub leaders to refine strategies and apply what works across regions.
In Oklahoma and Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, we work with Hub partners that coordinate across sectors, align resources, and connect communities to advance long-term regional strategies:
CAP Tulsa (Community Action Project of Tulsa County) is an anti-poverty community action agency and national leader in early childhood education, dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their two-generation approach aims not only to prepare young children for future success in school but also to help their parents succeed through programs designed to increase parenting skills, employability, and earning potential.
