Please Support
the emPOWERment project

The culminating event — a formal luncheon at Metropolitan
Community College — was thrilling ... as students diligently
practiced their manners in the receiving line and shook hands with
the college president, the board of governors president, other board
members, and several donors. The luncheon speaker was a young
woman who overcame a troubled childhood to finish her education
and qualify for a wonderful, satisfying career — teaching troubled
youth at the high school she once dropped out of!
With your help...
...we can introduce this life-changing program to more students and  
grade levels and train classroom facilitators this summer and fall.
Our long-term goal is for all students in grades 6 through 12 to have the
benefit of Respect and Manners in their classrooms.

For the coming school year, we hope to expand the program to five
elementary schools that feed into the same middle school. That way
we can design the 7th-grade curriculum for a group of kids who are
already familiar with the program and how it works.

The goals are huge, ambitious, and far-reaching, with benefits that
can transform not only students but their communities. With your
help, we can accomplish these goals, and we all will benefit.
Please donate now! Thanks....

Story
Working with Metropolitan Community College and the Omaha
Public Schools, the emPOWERment project launched Respect
and Manners at School and Work with one 6th-grade class in the
fall of 2009. The outcome far exceeded even our most optimistic
expectations (click on Nash's Story, below left).
