Who We Are
We are a youth voice-driven organization focusing on youth-led participatory action research (YPAR), leadership development, and advocacy.
Elevate Omaha was born out of the ingenuity, creativity, and leadership of young people in our community.
These leaders worked diligently to build Elevate Omaha from the ground up and we’re so proud to celebrate them.
We are committed.
Over the past year, our organization faced significant challenges, including necessary staff and operational changes in response to financial difficulties. While we paused our programs temporarily, we never went away.
Our mission remains strong, and with renewed purpose and community support, we are rebuilding to serve youth and our community more effectively than ever with the guidance of our youth steering committee. We are committed to moving forward with purpose, fostering ongoing engagement, and building programs that are youth-driven and strengthen our community. We appreciate your patience and support on this journey!
