Educators are innovators.

We aspire to develop a place where young people of all walks are life can come and feel welcomed and have access to pursue their fundamental need to belong, to master, to be independent and to be generous. It has been insightfully stated that "the great use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts it." Isn't it wonderful that no one needs to wait a single moment to improve the world?  This is our time and moment. 

This philosophy is the foundation on which Orange County Innovators (OCI) was founded. We strive to better the lives of our society's most underserved; particularly our youth who face many challenges at home, in school, and in the larger community.  At OCI our mission demands that we do whatever we can, whenever we can, for as long as we can, with whatever we have to make a difference.  We are appreciative to have you with us on this journey. 

Orange County Innovators (OCI) Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-partisan organization committed to improving the quality of lives for the youth and their families residing in the Mid-Hudson Valley area.  OCI's focus is on educational services, social programs, and foundation support to remain a vital and relevant part of the community we service.

We sincerely thank our sponsors and volunteers for their support.  With your help, we can continue to provide those most in need with a future that is bright and full of opportunities.  Our organization and the communities we serve deeply appreciate your charity and commitment to our mission.
