Partnership 4 Kids
Partnership 4 Kids (P4K) empowers Omaha's youth to graduate on time, pursue postsecondary opportunities, and achieve careers that provide financial independence. With 90% of our students coming from low-income households, we close the achievement gap by offering consistent resources and support from pre-kindergarten through postsecondary education. Our goal is to prepare the next generation of leaders for lifelong success.
P4K is the only Omaha organization offering wrap-around services from early childhood through postsecondary education. Starting with literacy and goal-setting in elementary school, we build a foundation that supports students in an after-school program through middle school and beyond.
We stand out by:
- Starting early: Career and postsecondary exploration begins in 4th grade, and college tours in 5th grade.
- Hands-on career readiness: In middle school, students engage in immersive career experiences and lessons on financial literacy, healthy relationships, and life skills.
- Personalized high school support: We provide career-aptitude assessments, individualized programming, and postsecondary goal setting in high school.
- Postsecondary commitment: P4K supports over 200 postsecondary students with individual case management, life skills training, and career coaching.
Through these tailored programs, P4K is transforming the futures of Omaha’s underserved youth.
- Our program supports over 3,000 students in 16 Omaha Public Schools from K-12. We also support students until they complete their postsecondary education.
- P4K provides college scholarships and assistance to ensure our students graduate with very little or no student debt.
- Our overarching goal is to break Omaha's cycle of generational poverty through higher education and mentorship.
