So this year, we've baked that mission into our business structure: OKOT has officially become a California Benefit Corporation — a type of purpose-driven business that legally commits to creating positive community impact. Becoming a B-Corp formalizes what has always been true at OKOT: Connection with children and families comes first. We invest in high-quality staff and clinical excellence. We prioritize accessibility, inclusion, and community impact. We protect nature and take care of the environment. Profit is never the driving force behind our decisions. This legal structure strengthens our ability to expand access to services, build mission-aligned partnerships, and work hand-in-hand with our sister non-profit foundation*.   *We've ALSO made a change to the name of our sister non-profit to more clearly communicate the intention to expand access to nature-based therapy services at OKOT. So, the "Therapy in the Great Outdoors Foundation" is now the Outdoor Kids Foundation. We will start active fundraising soon to offer more scholarships for children who lack access to high-quality outdoor therapy services due to limited finances or other barriers.   Thanks for all of your support of OKOT along the way, whether you've been here a week or for all 10 years! 😊  OKOT Service Updates: You can check out our current 1:1 outdoor OT services here.
