The Community Service Council
touches Tulsa!
The Community Service Council of Greater Tulsa provides leadership for community-based planning and
action to address important issues affecting the lives of people in the Tulsa area.
The Community
Service Council brings Tulsa together
to address our community’s social and health challenges,
assist people affected by them, mobilize resources,
and link people with the help they need.
Prevention
