Partnership 4 Kids is pleased to announce it was recently awarded a $50,000 grant from United Way of the Midlands (www.UnitedWayMidlands.org).
Thanks to the generosity of the United Way donors, the P4K Pathway Program will continue to provide Omaha Public Schools (OPS) students in need with the skills and the positive support of a mentor that are needed for these students to succeed in the classroom and to be workforce ready upon graduation.
Partnership 4 Kids is working to turn Omaha’s cycle of poverty and failure into one of achievement and prosperity, by partnering with our community and providing low-income and at-risk students with a foundation rooted in goal setting proficiency, and the consistent support of a mentor. The P4K Pathway Program not only provides the tools, experiences and networks of support necessary for students to achieve success, but at the heart of these efforts it is also building hope.
With the help of this grant, Partnership 4 Kids is able to offer 5,100 low-income and at-risk students in 22 OPS schools the tools and support they need to achieve academically, graduate from high school and pursue some form of post-secondary education.
