Omaha Home for Boys

A Bright Future
Recognizing that education is critical to long-term success, the Omaha Home for Boys implies a substantial and continuing commitment to providing the best possible education opportunity.

The Wurdeman Learning Center is crucial in supporting the academic efforts of our youth. Educational services at the learning center go beyond the scope of what is available through the public school system. If information from academic screening or the school history indicates a need, an individual academic plan is developed to provide the youth with the added support they need to provide for success.

Student services include library services; computer lab to assist with research projects; a multi-media program; and a life skills cooking program that encourages proper nutrition. In their junior and senior years, the youth work with a staff member to start developing goals for the future and planning for the transition to college, a trade school or a job.
