About GOASA

Vision Statement:

To organize, expand, and improve the existing after school opportunities for the youth of Omaha by creating an alliance of quality program providers.

This is a multi-year initiative that aims to align the efforts of schools, after school and out-of- school programs, as well as other essential youth services, in order to ensure that Omaha's youth receive the support they need during out-of-school hours. It is not the intention to create new programs, but rather to utilize and build on the existing assets in the community. It is also believed that by building on the success of your program and others like it, we can improve our already excellent youth programs. GOASA is led by the Office of the Mayor.

 

The Greater Omaha After School Alliance strives to support 4 initiatives:

  • Support a community wide network for after school opportunities to maintain stability and long term growth.

  • Promote partnerships with key community stakeholders and youth.
  • Broaden access to programs, thus ensuring that all children of Omaha have an equal opportunity to participate.
  • Provide resources and information to youth, parents, after school providers and community residents.
