Payne Education Center’s Teen Board educates young adults about Payne’s mission and what it does to help children with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. The Payne Teen Board offers unique opportunities for teenagers to contribute to the Oklahoma City community by learning how a non-profit works and by participating in Payne’s outreach efforts while fulfilling school volunteer requirements and gaining real-world community service experience.
