Tulsa, Okla. – The welding students of Oklahoma Technical College were presented the Change Agent Award by Volunteer Central of Greater Tulsa June 15th, 2010. This award was presented in recognition and appreciation of their commitment to strengthening our community as a Change Agent through volunteer service, exemplifying society, and a sense of caring and a demonstration of true citizenship.

The OTC welding students won this award by volunteering their time at the American Therapeutic Riding Center, a non-profit organization that provides equine-facilitated therapy for people with physical disabilities. They make regular trips to the riding center to help with welding projects on fencing, stable doors, farm equipment and basic upkeep.

Each department at OTC is doing their part to give back to the Tulsa community. The Barber students provide free haircuts for the homeless by teaming up with John 3:16 and The Day Center for the Homeless. The automotive students work on donated vehicles from John 3:16 by performing inspections and repairs getting them in good running condition to be donated to those in the rehabilitation process.
