I absolutely love where I work. We were just rated #4 Best Non-profit to Work For out of large non-profits nationwide so I know I'm not alone. CAP Tulsa has been a breath of fresh air when it comes to work-life balance. The mission of the organization really hits home with my heart. When you get to come to work everyday and help families and children succeed it is extremely rewarding. After I read reviews about CAP and their pay structure before working here I wasn't sure what to think. I've found through my experience that they are very competitive and have a rich benefits program. They are extremely deserving of the national spotlight they consistently receive and I hope you check them out!

CAP's mission is helping families succeed. They're primarily known for their early childhood centers around Tulsa that help children in lower-income families achieve economic success.

Its vision is to break the cycle of poverty. Their two-generation approach combines high quality education with innovative family services and resources. They offer programs to parents that increase their skills, employability and earning potential. CAP is nationally recognized as a model for this method. 

CAP is one of the largest anti-poverty agencies in Oklahoma. They believe every family and child deserves the same opportunity for success. They accomplish this by empowering low-income families with education, tools, support and guidance they need to break the cycle of poverty. 

As an employer, The Nonprofit Times named CAP as one of the “Best Places to Work” in 2016. This is the second consecutive year it has made the list. It ranked 19 overall and 3rd in the list of Large Nonprofits.  I have worked here for half a year and I absolutely love it. The leadership is inspiring and receptive, the work environment is the best I've ever had and the actual services we provide are invaluable in our community.

My experience with CAP was not that great. The interview was going good until I let them know that my son had Sensory Processing Disorder. Then all of a sudden it was" Well we don't know when you will get a call . But the good news is , is that you don't have to renew your application till 2017."  I asked if my son would even be considered now for the program and I was told "Well its not easy for us to place kids like that." 
      It was like a slap in the face . I'm used to that from daycares and people in public, but I was not expecting it from CAP . I heard great things about it from other people, but there kids are not special needs and do not the extra help. 
         My advice would be DO NOT tell them if your child is a delayed . Once they are in then you take in your paper work from the diagnoses. By law they have to have atleast 10% of the kids with special needs and IEPs .
      Cap  if you really are here to help the community start by helping the families with special needs . Special needs children are just as important. 
They are part of the community, don't just spout off about helping and turn your back on the ones that need the help.  
     I was fortunate to have Sooner Start help me get my son into a TPS program for 3 yr. Olds that are developmentally delayed. Say what you want about TPS they were the ones that lent me a hand and actually called me and set up a meeting with me . I was not shunned like I was at CAP .

Probably one of the worst places to work at in Tulsa and the office is located in a not-so-great part of town.  I worried about parking my car in a spot where I couldn't watch it from time to time.  The people in some departments are really nice and friendly, but not very knowledgeable (that goes for about every division). Pay is on the lower end of most places in Tulsa as well.
