| Form 990-PF, Part IX-A-Summary of Direct Charitable Activities - # 2 | The Lynn Institute Hope Strategies division was implemented in FY24 and is dedicated to sharing the Science of Hope with community and civic organizations, neighborhoods, nonprofits, neighborhoods, and our partner agencies. Hope offers a simple framework, which enjoys a common definition and a robust body of evidence lending itself to the development of easy-to-use intervention modalities to help trauma survivors. The founder of the Science of Hope, Dr. Chan Hellman, has published several studies showing how childhood adversity and trauma can reduce our capacity to hope (rumination, insecure attachments, PTSD, anxiety). Hellman and his colleagues have also published numerous studies showing that hope can be nurtured and restored through simple strategies. This research is the foundation of the larger Hope Centered and Trauma Informed curriculum we are using to train human service organizations, school districts, law enforcement agencies, judges, and other officers of the courts, etc. across several US states and internationally.Science of Hope training classes were offered throughout the year including a variety of additional educational resources, food distribution and health fairs for participants.In FY 25, more than 300 participants were trained in the Science of Hope. Science of Hope is also presented in at risk, vulnerable communities, including OSU OKC/Centers for Social Innovation, which provides life skills education variety of young adult and older students who were formerly incarcerated, recovering, from substance abuse, high school dropouts, etc. The Science of Hope is instrumental in teaching individuals the tenets of hope including how the focus is given to the two components of pathways thinking and agency thinking. Pathways thinking refers to the ability to identify strategies or plans on how to achieve one's goals. The hopeful person can identify multiple pathways to the desired goal and effectively conceive alternative pathways or solutions to potential barriers. Agency thinking refers to the mental energy we deploy toward our goal pursuits. The hopeful person has the agency to self-regulate their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions when selecting and pursuing their desired goals. Positive expectations regarding the pursuit of desired goals become the essence of hope. (Hellman, Gwinn, 2017)Hope Strategies, a Division of the Lynn Institute, facilitates a juvenile justice program called CREW (Character, Responsibility, Entrepreneurship, and Well-Being). CREW meets weekly to provide an opportunity for juvenile offenders to fulfill their court-ordered community engagement requirements by serving in the Lynn Institute's community garden. Hope Strategies work alongside these students, nurturing Hope and creating avenues for connection and change. Enrichment activities are provided each week and guest speakers frequently come to share their stories with the students. CREW members do not just fulfill justice requirements; they leave the program with healthier life goals and a better sense of self.Since its launch, more than 1,500 students have participated in this program, including 411 in FY 25 along with 125 volunteers, with the potential to increase the number of classes and activities as the behavioral outcomes continue to increase and recidivism decreases. The program has also generated more than 500 volunteer hours of participation.In October 2024, Lynn Institute expanded its impact with the launch of CREW Connections, a specialized program for girls detained at the Oklahoma County Juvenile Detention Center. In FY 25, 25 CREW Connections classes served 85 participants, offering smaller, more intimate sessions focused on emotional wellness, self-worth, and healing. Programming included art therapy and creative expression, goal-setting workshops, mock interviews, and physical activity and mindfulness practicesall designed to foster hope and resilience during a challenging time. | |
| Form 990-PF, Part IX-A-Summary of Direct Charitable Activities - # 3 | The mission of the Lynn Institute for Healthcare Research, Inc. is to create and sustain healthy,hopeful communities across Oklahoma. Over the last several years, we have increased our scope ofwork from just focusing on health research, through our lifestyle summaries of targeted zip codesin areas of high need and at-risk communities, to implement a variety of programs and services,and resources to address the negative social determinants of health that are plaguing ourcommunities. Lynn does this on our own and with local stakeholders and partners to shareresources and make positive impacts in the most vulnerable of communities and populations,including minority communities with limited access to nutritious food, fresh fruits and vegetables,safety, and appropriate shelter as well as access to quality health services.Our scope of work in FY 25 included, but is not limited to, providing: *More than 40,000 pounds of food, including fresh fruits and vegetables. *250 Food Distribution events with partner organizations. *Impacted more than 10,000 families served throughout the year. *Women's health events and education attended by nearly 250 women. * Men's health talks and stakeholder meetings with more than 50 men. *Averaged more than 30 in monthly attendance at Lynn Lunch & Learn health and wellness community lectures. *Expanded Lunch and Learn programs to the Hispanic community in south Oklahoma City. *More than 500 attendees at family-friendly events, including Science4U, Fall Festival Garden Party, and Holly Jolly. | |
| Form 990-PF, Part IX-A-Summary of Direct Charitable Activities - # 4 | The Lynn Institute Community Garden at Chesapeake.The Chesapeake Garden was established in April 2010 and was designed to enable employees to tap into the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits that gardening provides. More than 725 employees participated in the garden for one or more seasons tending the 65 raised bed plots. Despite the difficulties that accompany the oil industry, Chesapeake has kept the garden intact but has been unable to dedicate the human or financial capital needed to sustain the beauty and crop production that once existed.A valued collaborative member noticed the garden, On the Road to Health instructor, and master gardener who pursued more information about the space. Through contact with Chesapeake, it was determined that while the garden still existed, it had not been maintained in more than onetwo years. It was through this contact that Chesapeake heard about the Lynn Institute's work and spirit of collaboration and Lynn found out about the garden and it's potential.Upon learning of the Lynn Institute's programs and work, mission and values, Chesapeake felt our organization was perfectly aligned with the original intent of the garden. In fact, some of the goals and values listed in the original documents of the garden planning included phrases like:*team and community building,*family-oriented activities,*educational opportunities,*food access for those who need it,*promotion of growth and recovery for those coming out of addiction, and inspiring and empowering for adults and children.Additionally, the Chesapeake Garden offers a way to tie together every initiative that Lynn works on including parks and gardens, new educational opportunities and experiences, health and wellness programs, community outreach, resource access and hope. Current areas that would immediately benefit from this project would certainly include Northeast Oklahoma City and zip code 73114 in north Oklahoma City. However, the beauty of the project is that more vulnerable and underserved areas could be included in activities.The partnership with Chesapeake offers: *An innovative approach to pursue greater collaboration and funding with partners, *Increase access to healthy nutrition and food, *Broaden our reach in serving underserved populations with community outreach, *Provide expanded no-cost health education and wellness-driven programs to residents in the areas Lynn serves, *Engage children and youth in learning and community services opportunities, *Introduce senior adults to fitness and gardening programs, *Offer an encouraging growth and recovery opportunity to youth and adults moving out of addiction and poor life choices.During FY25, the Lynn institute Community Garden at Expand: *Harvested more than 3,770 pounds of produce. *54,339 pounds of wholesale produce distributed. *Partnered with community organizations to distribute produce to 4,680 households. *Reduced reliance on external produce sources with increased production. *Hosted 63 individual volunteers totaling 411 volunteer hours in the garden. *Held a Fall Festival Garden Party with more than 100 family members in attendance. |
