Collective for Youth

Collective for Youth "Relentless advocates for Omaha’s afterschool community." Collective for Youth provides support to 25 school based OST sites serving over 3,500 youth.

Collective for Youth’s vision is to develop a community of thriving afterschool partners who are empowered to ignite the imagination and grow the minds of youth. No matter what door a child walks into for an out-of-school time (OST) program, it should be a high quality experience. Collective for Youth’s mission is to lead and support a network of high quality out-of-school programs that inspire an

d engage youth, stimulating academic and personal growth. It is our vision that all youth have expanded learning opportunities that ignite the imagination, grow the mind, and provide the foundation for success in school and life. These hands on experiences are opening doors for children every day.

Join us on September 1st for our upcoming workshop. Seats are limited.

Emotional Intelligence Skill Building Professional Development

Why is empathy so critical in developing in our youth? Cultivating empathy? That might sound strange if you think of empathy as an innate, fixed trait — a talent that some people are born with, and others lack. But empathy isn’t an all-or-nothing proposition. It isn’t something that unfolds automatically, in every situation. It isn’t even a single ability or skill. Join us at Collective for Youth to learn more about empathy and why it is so important in a child’s relationship with the rest of the world. Register today! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/september-1-2026-emotional-intelligence-skill-building-training-tickets-1994885003747

Collective for Youth Leadership Boot Camp Day 2! CFY's Lavone Walker kicked off the day with presentations from Civic Nebraska's, Tracy White and retired OPS principal, Dr. Lisa Sterba. The most valuable asset you can accumulate is a network of supportive relationships you build along the way. These are colleagues who celebrate your wins, pull you through tough projects, and provide honest feedback when you need it most. Leading with grace, stretching your comfort zone and creating strong relationships are the building blocks to being a strong leader. Strong leaders build strong afterschool programs.
