Youth Service Worker Certificate

To provide expertise and training to create better outcomes for more youth and families, the Omaha Home for Boys offers training opportunities to its staff and other youth and family care organizations. The Youth Service Worker Certificate program allows individuals working with youth to grow in their careers or to explore and prepare for working with difficult youth. Participants must take two core and six elective classes to earn a Youth Service Worker Certificate from the University of Nebraska Omaha (Undergraduate or Graduate credit can be obtained in some circumstances). Some participants may choose to attend and acquire continuing education units.
