The Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy (OICA) is a public policy organization focused on protecting and improving the health, safety, and well-being of Oklahoma’s children. Based in Oklahoma City, it operates as a voice for children and families at the state Capitol and in communities, aiming to inform policy through data-driven research, best-practice program models, and collaborative partnerships. The group seeks to influence state policymakers, agencies, and other stakeholders by translating data and research into practical policy solutions that address issues affecting children in care or at risk due to poverty, abuse, neglect, or disparities. Founded in 1983 in response to a widely publicized investigative report, OICA emphasizes evidence-based advocacy and continued engagement across health, education, and community sectors. Recent activities include partnerships and campaigns at the national and local levels to secure federal and state support for programs serving infants, toddlers, and families, as well as voter awareness and civics-related education initiatives.
