Sisu Youth Services

11/09/2026

Ready to spread some holiday cheer? Sisu Santa Squad sign-ups are officially open!

When you join the squad, you’re matched with one of the youth in our housing programs or shelter. They’ll create a wish list, and you’ll choose which memory to create for them by what you purchase from their list.

Here's how the Santa Squad works:

✨Sign up at https://bit.ly/4k8D811 by November 20.
✨Look for their wishlist in your inbox by November 25.
✨Shop from the list and keep your gift between $175-$200 for housed client gifts, and $100-$125 for shelter client backpacks.
✨Wrap and label your housed client gift, or tag your shelter client backpack, and drop it off on Monday, December 14, between 6 and 8 pm at the Cole Community Center on 4400 Northwest Expy in Oklahoma City.

Mark your calendar: Sisu Santa Squad sign-ups open Monday, November 9!

The youth we serve want what most young people want, like headphones to listen to their favorite music or a sketchbook to explore their creative side. You can be part of making their holiday brighter by joining the Santa Squad and being matched with one of the youth in our shelter or housing programs.

Wish lists go out November 25 🎅

Let's get a round of applause for our client, Rosarie! Last week, she graduated from the Manufacturing Skills Academy, earning a variety of machining and manufacturing certifications.

We're incredibly proud of her hard work and determination, and can't wait to cheer her on as she takes her next steps!
