A New Leaf’s Workforce Development program is designed to provide people with developmental disabilities life skills, marketable job training, and employment.
People with developmental disabilities experience poverty at more than twice the rate of their neurotypical peers. A New Leaf believes a developmental disability does not diminish a person’s desire or capacity for achieving their goals. They may simply require an alternative path to success.
Will you be our partner in providing valuable resources to aspiring adults with developmental disabilities and autism in Green Country? All donations fund A New Leaf programs, like the Workforce Development Program.

In Support of A New Leaf Inc
A New Leaf’s mission is to provide job training, life skills, and residential services to elevate confident independence and self-sufficiency for people with developmental disabilities and autism.
A New Leaf was established in 1979 to provide horticultural-related job training to adults with developmental disabilities. We began with one greenhouse and one staff, and we served two individuals. By 1980, A New Leaf grew to serve 13 individuals. In 1986, we built our first 12,000 sq. ft. greenhouse and vocational training facility. Then in 2013, A New Leaf began operating group homes and providing 24-hour assistance to individuals with developmental disabilities living independently. Our residential program has grown each year since. In 2022 Phase one of The Village opened in Owasso, providing safe and affordable housing for clients and space for ANL's growing programs. Phase two is scheduled to break ground in early 2025.
Today A New Leaf proudly serves 500+ clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism, employs more than 280 staff, and operates six greenhouses, two permanent garden centers as well as two seasonal garden centers. With an estimated 40,000 in the Tulsa metro with I/DD and autism our work is far from over.
