Day of Service
On April 19, 1995, when a truck bomb caused the partial collapse of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and killed 168 people, the overwhelming community response was a ray of light on this dark day – it gave birth to the Oklahoma Standard.
Service is a powerful way to ensure the memory of those who were killed, those who survived, and those changed forever is preserved. By engaging in acts of service, students and businesses can connect with the tenets of the Oklahoma Standard – service, honor, and kindness. Service learning fosters a sense of responsibility and community involvement, teaching participants the value of giving back and supporting one another in times of need. It is through these acts, that we keep the legacy of the Oklahoma Standard alive and inspire future generations to build a more caring and united society.
