Statement on AmeriCorps Funding:
For 36 years, Partnership 4 Kids has worked to break cycles of generational poverty by guiding Omaha youth from preschool through postsecondary and into the workforce. Our High School and Postsecondary Workforce Development programs provide wraparound support to more than 300 students annually including FAFSA, college applications, renewable scholarships, skills development, career coaching, academic case management, and mentorship.
However, a recent federal funding cut to our AmeriCorps grants has created a $260,000 annual gap ($130,000 for the remainder of 2025) that now threatens our critical student services. This significant loss of funding jeopardizes the essential support our students rely on to grow into the leaders our community and workforce need.
We are now turning to our community—those who believe in the power of education and opportunity for all. With your support, we can continue to provide the guidance, resources, and connections our students need to succeed.
