Welcome!
Students are most likely to thrive — academically, socially,
and in other important ways — in an atmosphere of respect
that the students themselves help create. This is the core
principle of
the emPOWERment project, founded by
four Omaha education and business professionals as a
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

The emPOWERment project has developed an
innovative ten-week program —
Respect and Manners at
School and Work
introduced in selected Omaha Public
Schools. Students meet once a week during the school day,
working on forming habits that lead to
self-worth and self-confidence
respectful attitudes and behavior toward others
good manners
optimism about success
paths to achievement
a positive, encouraging learning atmosphere
Planned for fifth- through twelfth-graders, program activities
help students recognize their own and others' worth
channel this recognition into respectful interaction
