Completely KIDS (completelykids.org) recently welcomed local elected officials and candidates to the Completely KIDS campus for Pastries with Policymakers, an event designed to connect community leaders with the children and families the organization serves.
Guests shared breakfast with Completely KIDS students, met with CEO Carla Rizzo and toured the campus alongside teens from the organization’s Teen Employment Program. Throughout the morning, students and teens had opportunities to share their experiences, ask questions and discuss what matters most to them and their community.
“Pastries with Policymakers gives our KIDS an opportunity to have their voices heard by the people working to shape the future of our community,” said Rizzo. “We are grateful to the leaders who took the time to listen, learn about our work and connect directly with the young people we serve.”
Attendees included Eric Michael Foreman, Sen. Victor Rountree, Sen. Margo Juarez, Erin Feichtinger, Christy Knorr, Bill Bowes, Jess Goldoni, Chris Anderson and Commissioner Roger Garcia.
Completely KIDS works with children, teens and families throughout Omaha to help create a community where KIDS are safe, healthy, successful and connected.
