NorthStar’s results are better because our programming is different, and to change the outcomes we needed to change the game.
Our Community
Nebraska is home to 12,000 school-aged black male youth (ages 5 to 19 years old) and over 9,300 of these young men reside in the Greater Omaha Metropolitan area.
40% of these young men reside in zip codes 68104 and 68111, which comprises NorthStar’s area of geographic focus.
Our Students
NorthStar serves young men in the North Omaha community who are among the most vulnerable to failed academic progress and high school dropout.
Our Stories
Annual Reports
Schools
The majority of young men served by NorthStar reside in two North Omaha zip codes with the highest concentration of families living in poverty in Douglas County: 68104 and 68111.
NorthStar provides transportation for students each day of programming from schools with the highest numbers of NorthStar enrollees.
