Get Involved At Gatesway

Be Part of Something Bigger Than Yourself

At Gatesway, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, purpose, and community — and that it takes a community to make that happen.

Whether you’re looking to lend a hand, hire with heart, or build a meaningful career, there’s a place for you here.

Join us in creating a more inclusive, empowered Oklahoma — one friendship, one act of service, and one meaningful job at a time.

Hire Our Friends

Dependable. Dedicated. Difference-Making.

Looking to expand your team with reliable, hardworking individuals who take pride in what they do? Our Friends are ready to contribute meaningfully to your business.

Our Friends bring:

  • Punctuality and attention to detail
  • A strong work ethic and teamwork mentality
  • A positive impact on workplace culture

We make it easy:
Gatesway handles timesheets, payroll, and workers’ comp—so partnering with us is seamless, cost-effective, and often less than hiring a full-time employee.

Let’s talk about what’s possible.

Contact info@gatesway.org
or call (918) 258-3900.

Hiring through Gatesway was one of the best decisions we’ve made.
The team shows up early, works hard, and brings such positive energy to our store. It’s been a win-win for our business and for our staff culture.

— Melanie R.
Retail Manager, Tulsa

“Volunteering at Gatesway was one of the most fulfilling experiences I’ve ever had.
I came to help, but I left with new friendships and a whole new perspective on what inclusion really means.”
