Just The Beginning is a Christ-centered organization that empowers justice-involved women toward self-sufficiency, esteem, and wholeness.
OUR WHY
Oklahoma has become the nation's capital for incarcerated women at a rate of over 50% incarceration for non-violent drug offenses; these truths have and continue to drive the mission and vision of JTB.
