Edmonson Youth Outreach has been a pillar in the north Omaha community for over 45 years. Joe Edmondson passed away in 2002. Prior to his passing Edmonson Youth Outreached developed over a half a dozen innovative programs to reach inner city youth. The wrestling program is perhaps the most well known in the community but other programs such as the summer fun program, after school program, local radio station and broadcasting programs lead the way. This proposal is intended to revive past programs and introduce new programs.

This proposal aligns with visionary workshop summary by offering a centralized location but families and members of the community can connect.
This proposal directly aligns with LB1024s strategy of creating employment within census track 59.
We anticipate creating three full-time positions and three-part time positions. During the summer there will be an additional five positions created. Wages are anticipated to adhere to the Nebraska medium wage calculator.

A portion of the funds requested will be immediately used to do renovation. This will create immediate construction needed jobs.
There are several proposed real estate development within census track 59. Once the developments are completed Edmonson Youth Outreach will seek to off additional services to the households. Not simply limited to youth outreach program but also additional programs for adult financial literacy and additional career training opportunity programs.
Improved education can be measured. You can also measure a decrease in violence in the community.
Outcomes can directly be measured by the number of youth and households that utilize the facility. This can be done by ingoing tracking systems.
