There’s a new establishment up and running in Tulsa’s historic Greenwood District. Located on MLK Avenue, the Thunder Fellows Program has officially opened its doors to begin welcoming its inaugural cohort of Black students in Tulsa into its facility .
Thirteen months have passed since the Thunder first announced its partnership with Creative Arts Agency (CAA) to create the Thunder Fellows Program – a pipeline for Black youth in Tulsa to career opportunities in sports, entertainment and technology through a curriculum based in data and analytics. What originally began as a mere conversation between two lifelong friends is now a tangible reality positioned to make lasting, scalable change for Black youth in Tulsa.
