Collective for Youth is seeking out-of-school-time (OST) nonprofits interested in developing and delivering middle school programs in OPS middle school sites during 2012-2013 school year and the summer of 2013. Collective for Youth is a non-profit intermediary organization dedicated to creating quality partnerships between schools and community organizations. It is our mission to promote out-of-school-time programming across the metro community and partner with the Greater Omaha After School Alliance (GOASA) to provide high quality professional development to OST staff. It's our belief that a strong community wide OST system has six essential components: committed leadership, a private coordinating entity, multi-year planning, reliable information, expanded participation, and commitment to quality.

It is the policy and philosophy of Collective For Youth to support agencies and organizations which do not discriminate in hiring staff and/or providing services on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, military service or disability.
