NOCP is a community-based organization. We offer many outreach programs, resources and events weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually. We partner with our organizations and grassroot initiatives. During the warmer months in the year, we offer recreational activities at the Bryant Center basketball court. We bring in community resource vendors, mentors and provide our services on site. Not having a brick-and-mortar location in challenging especially in the colder months of the year. We lease meeting space for our events and therapy sessions for our Bridge the Gap Mental Health Program. We have raised funds and received grants that have allowed our programs to expand. We need funding to provide a permanent location for our organization that offers classroom and workshop space, multi-purpose area, event space, outdoor space and an indoor gym. We support dance teams, flag football teams and character development and enrichment youth programs. We would serve as a community hub and allow these groups to use our space. This would make these opportunities more accessible and affordable. Our timeline is 18 months to purchase property and renovate. We would expand our programs at current locations immediately upon award. Our location would be in North Omaha.
