As the holiday season comes around again, we are reminded of the incredible impact your donations have made on our mission during the past year. In 2024 A New Leaf will pay over $640,000 in client wages as part of our workforce development programs. The first cohort from the Hardesty Transition Academy successfully graduated and the young adults are on their way to more independent lives. Phase two at The Village is scheduled to break ground in the spring. These are just a few of the hundreds of successful milestones we get to celebrate every day. One of the most rewarding aspects of our program is witnessing the transformation that takes place within participants. They have become confident, self-reliant individuals who are contributing members of their communities, none of this would have happened without you. And for that, we thank you.
Including us in your year-end giving makes a brighter tomorrow! Every donation counts and we thank you for the support you have given all year!
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.
