Write a comment60 Years of Action. A lifetime of impact. This year marks a momentous milestone for Oswego County Opportunities (OCO).
Established in 1966 as the community action agency for Oswego County, OCO has been a pillar of support and resilience in our community for six decades. In recognition of OCO’s 60th anniversary, City of Oswego Mayor Robert Corradino presented OCO Executive Director Kevin Dean with a proclamation honoring the agency.
“For 60 years OCO has remained a steadfast and reliable partner in our community, responding to emerging needs, adapting to challenges and providing compassionate, innovative services to residents throughout Oswego County,” said Mayor Corradino. “OCO marked the beginning of its 60th anniversary celebration with the opening of its new central hub located at 10 George Street in Oswego bringing together a wide array of services under one roof to enhance accessibility and better serve the community.
The City of Oswego expresses its sincere gratitude to OCO’s dedicated staff, leadership, volunteers, community partners and its Board of Directors, whose unwavering commitment has strengthened our community and provided hope and opportunity to generations of residents. The City is proud and appreciative that OCO has chosen to locate and remain inside the City, reinforcing its deep rooted connection to our community and its ongoing investment in our resident’s future.”
Each year OCO serves more than 15,000 individuals through 50 programs offering critical services including support for the homeless, educational programming, youth development, crisis intervention, transportation, reproduction and community health services, meals and nutritional guidance, assistance to the elderly and disabled, and resources for victims of abuse.
