What We Do

Our mission is to connect underserved youth with opportunities and resources to be successful students and active individuals. We work with 500 underserved, local youth to unlock their potential for success in academics, extracurriculars, and their futures. As Omaha's only long-term mentorship & future-readiness program, we work closely with students from third through twelfth grade! 

Our students have the opportunity to....

  • Spend forty hours per year on college campuses, 
  • Participate in consistent, bi-weekly mentorship (for NINE straight years!),
  • Receive individualized support and supplies,
  • Build  goals that align with their dreams,
  • Make connections with college recruitment teams and scholarship committees, 
  • And participate in fully funded extracurricular activities. 

 We equip youth with the tools they need to THRIVE! 

Interesting Info
  • Students from nine (9) different schools spend, on average, 3,059 hours on their partnered college campus.
  • We are the ONLY long-term mentorship & future-readiness program in Omaha!
  • Over 500 youth served throughout the year!
