Edmonson Youth Outreach Learning Center | Home
The Edmonson Youth Outreach Learning
Center is a youth
oriented program started in 2009 aimed at building self-esteem while
teaching the dangers of drug abuse and the rewards of academic
excellence. Juvenile delinquency is a well-documented problem,
particularly in low-income metropolitan
areas. Omaha is no exception. The Edmonson Youth Outreach Learning
Center is not a
short-term program but has long term relationships. EYOLC is a
community based, nonprofit safe haven located in the heart of
north Omaha. EYOLC target population is comprised of youths,
age’s 5 to 15, primarily from the neighborhoods surrounding
EYOLC.
EYOLC successfully "competes with the street" and its
negative
influences by offering positive alternatives to inner-city youths by
building strong character, self-esteem, and social values.
Throughout the year, EYOLC’S on-site radio and television
programs, athletic activities and events, computer laboratory, academic
tutoring, reading program, and drug awareness programs will reach over
300 low-income youths from high-crime, low-income neighborhoods on
Omaha’s north side.
EYOLC’S motto is
STILL "No Magic. Just Hard Work!"
No Magic Just Hard Work!;
