Omaha Street School
The Omaha Street School is
an alternative high school that puts
at-risk youth on the road to success. Omaha Street School has lower
drop-out rates than the national average and continues to support educational
and career goals after graduation. The staff at the Omaha Street School
believe that:
- all people have the potential to learn because they are
created in the image of God,
- God’s truth can be witnessed
in all areas of academic study,
- education is modeled through
nurturing relationships between teachers and students, and that
- education
involves the total student in terms of mental, physical, spiritual,
and social development.
Presbyterian Church of the Cross volunteers participate by sharing
lunch with the students once a month, on the second Thursday
of the month. Volunteers prepare a hot lunch, serve the lunch, and
interact
with students and staff, including prayer and conversation.
Presbyterian Church of the Cross youth (junior and senior high)
volunteer by meeting with Omaha Street School staff and students
twice a month to clean the school (the school can not afford
custodians) and
share in fellowship and snacks.
Contact the coordinator for more information about how to
volunteer.
